Seeking your advice

[Cool Wash]

I am fencing my SS and adding a gate. The project will complete in couple of weeks. I have decided my business hrs -6:30a- 10:30p.
During the closed hrs (10:30p to 6:30a), what do you think I should do about lighting:

1. should I keep as it is now… well lit during closed hrs

2. Use a timer to turn all lights off

Has anyone experienced similar decision? What are pro and cons of turning lights off Vs. on?

Thank your for your comments.

Randys brother does this so I look forward to him chiming in about what has worked for them.

We have a security company come at 10pm and run anyone who is there off the property and close and lock the gate. At 6am they come back unlock and open the gate. The security company drives by a few times during the night to check on things. We leave the lights On above the Bill changer/vending area and above the back door. All the other lights are off.
