Please consider setting up some test blocks using warmer colored LEDs at reduced intensity with a better cutoff angle for side glare. That has proven to provide considerably more comfortable lighting when tried in other cities, and is especially needed in residential areas. Even driving is not so good for short drivers on major thoroughfares such as North MacGregor where there are no trees to block the direct view of some of the LEDs. Thanks.

I feel the same way. They are too bright.

The new LED street lights are oppressive -- not to mention an eyesore. They cast a glare that is not only annoying, but it interferes with being able to clearly see when driving. Hopefully the City of Houston (and Centerpoint) will heed these complaints and be proactive like other cities and switch to the warmer toned LEDs for replacement bulbs in streetlights. Our neighborhood is currently polka-dotted with the new (blinding) LED lights that are being installed as the current (orange glow) street lights burn out. Looks so bad, not to mention, the new lights are so bright, one LED lights up the street area in front of 3 homes! We have one near our home and the neighbors have already had to install blackout shades in their bedroom. How sad...

I have been to this area at night just to witness for myself the controversy.
I have to agree. This proposed replacement lighting is just too bright, Yes.There is a glare which is annoying especially on a dirty windshield to be a safe driver. One can not see through the glare of the bright lights as well as you could a dimmer different light. Just drive a few blocks further and the difference is obvious. I would actually classify these new bright lights as "NUISANCE" lighting. My neighbor can no longer use his backyard light because of this very thing we are talking about now, under the nuisance lighting ordinance.
"Please". Re-consider the choices of lighting available to a warmer, lower power LED.

No cave in was reported here. It was a street light issue. I hope this resolution comment was a mistake.

I am the original reporter of this issue and it is not a cave-in. It is a street hazard report because the light is too bright to safely drive under. Please leave the 311 case open until a resolution is found.

Thanks for fixing this issue!

The issue is blinding street lights. The problem is blinding glare from an overly intense LED street light. Driving is hazardous because drivers cannot see clearly to drive safely down the street and maneuver around parked cars, pedestrians, bicycles, etc.

If a real person is reading this, they need to be fired if they cannot read plain English.

The complaint was reposted more clearly, but then it was rejected as being "not valid" as it was not their department. The poster was referred to CenterPoint Energy. However, I did send this link to some City Council members. Maybe they at least saw some of the comments and the photo if they took a look. I have written both mayoral campaigns and the press with many references in the same letter they can look at. I will also be at Bill King's Town Hall meeting at Fadi's in Meyerland to ask about the problem. He has a campaign worker who is passing on our concerns to him so I know I have made contact there...not sure about Sylvester Turner yet as I just wrote the main campaign e-mail.

What we really need to do is get a meeting that includes Public Works and CenterPoint together. Everyone has been notified of the problem and petition complaints have been handed to both City Council and Public Works. They are referring us to CenterPoint and urging us to wait until after the mayoral election. I have tried asking for a pause in the installation which obviously is not happening. I have called to take them up on the offer of a meeting with CenterPoint. For now, let your City Council rep and the mayor's office know that you are not happy. I am continuing to send them new information as it comes in that bolsters our position with experiences in other cities and studies that show that our choice is much better accepted, has better visibility and saves even more energy. Their choice is not even a panacea for crime prevention. LA's crime is way up this year even in areas that have had the white LEDs for a couple of years. They have already been putting in warmer colored LEDs in their residential areas as we are requesting, and at a sane brightness level.
