House Numbers

OK heres a different rant, not only to PC engineers but to anyone who has to find a house in the dark:
I know my eyes are bad (they told me it would make me go blind)(looking at a screen all day that is) but how can I see a house number cruising down a dark road if you put it inside a porch? Or what about no house number at all? Or what about black numbers on a dark green door? Or what about three houses in a row all with number 1 on them (yes Im not joking, it happened tonight)? Get the message?

If I have to come and sort out your computer at night, at least put your house number in fluorescent letters with a spotlight on it for me!

Rant on! Having a house number that can clearly be seen is also essential from a safety aspect - if PC engineers can't find your house number neither can the emergeny services.
All that's needed is a decent sized house number on a contrasting background - better to have something plainer and readable than fancy and colourful.
