Description
New Street Lamp installed by UI yesterday lights up the night and is aimed too far backward and shines directly in our homes. Needs readjusting. Also this amount of intensity goes beyond safety and becomes light pollution. Plantings nearby will never know it's nite time.

I'm experiencing the same on the odd side of the street (left side). It may be that the light's exposure arc is very wide, causing it to shine high on both sides.
I'm just glad they fixed the lights, but yes, if it can be adjusted, that would be good.

Thank you, Lighting Division!!!
It's so nice to have more light on the street at night. I hope the adjustments can help to keep the light out of windows, but I for one very much appreciate how much safer our street feels.
