I often wonder how cutting and folding a bit of sheet metal and bolting it onto the streetlight as a shroud is overlooked whenever streetlights are built or repaired. There's one that shines directly into my bedroom but there's no good reason for it to illuminate any part of the building I live in.


Try contacting your city about it. Here they will come around within a few weeks and do as you suggested if you complain.


Yep. This is low hanging fruit for making constituents happy. I emailed my city councilor about this because I couldn't figure out who to ask at public works. The next morning a work truck rolled up and installed a shield on the light nearest to my house.


Yes they did this for my parents house. A guy with some sheet metal and a shears.
