The first thing I did when I bought my house out in the country was to have the power company remove the security lights. Now it feels quiet and dark at night instead of feeling like a parking lot.
Many homes in the country, far outside of town, will have what is essentially a single street light in their yard.

Growing up, we had one and I can't think of any neighbor that didn't have one. "Security" was real, both from thieves and wild animals. Neither were a significant threat, but they weren't a nonexistent threat either.
Honestly, there aren't any wild animals in the area that are going to attack me or my kids. And as for thieves, most robberies occur during the day, not the night. They're for peace of mind, and nothing else.
