As far as i know PUBLIC street light is intended to light PUBLIC areas, so how could anybody complain it does not light HIS PRIVATE home?

Medved: There are people, like me, who don't like absolute darkness at night so they can orientate in the dark without turning the lights on. It is also a nice thing to see the path to your house at night, see the keyhole in the doors etc.

And why you don't install small lights for this? Adding light, when somebody need or want it, is easy. Removing, when it disturb, is impossible.
OK, doing itthe way ike on the picture is not the best, sometimes going simply for lower wattage lamp might finally solve the problem for all... Especially in US, where one 400W pole is used on place, where two 70W would do the job way better.

You are absolutely right, I was just saying that I understand why he wanted more light.

That's ridiculous what this neighbor did, if he wants more light in front of his house then maybe he should go to the hardware store and buy his own light for his own front yard. Laughing

this one would be either 100 watt or 150 watt HPS. my electric company uses 100 watt the lowest, and plus the above is a smaller fixture, in this area we use bigger fixtures on 250 watt. so This one for sure is either 100 or 150 watt. (UPDATE) saw the tag, this is 100 watt MV!

Thats Good Jace,my Area is now using Small Fixtures for the low and high wattages...its really Annoying! Confused..the small fixtures cycle more frequently and sooner than the larger fixtures with the same wattage of lamp,in some cases only weeks after they were installed,the coopers seem to be the worst,but the GE's are cycling too.

When whoever did this they were not thinking about how the rest of the street won't get lit. (At least it would not be as bright as it should be.) I like how it is MV! and not HPS.

Haha, in Poland sometimes you can see very similar shields mounted on various fixtures Laughing
lightboy1   [Dec 16, 2010 at 11:22 PM]
This fixture is a 100w MV....

If it was HPS, they would want the glare shield up. I know I would! Very Happy
