In our area private door-to-door people sell "reflective" painted street numbers which they spray on the gutter at the front of your house, using number stencils.

Just a thought, but they may help the emergency services find you in a hurry.
It can be a nightmare trying to find places in the dark or just after dark.

Cheers.
They have approval from the local council, but more importantly, and as an ex-emergency service worker, we found them more practical to locate street numbers because, they were all in the same place at every house: on the gutter 2 metres from the main driveway. Unlike these "illuminated house numbers", which the residents could put them anywhere and may not be seen from the street.
