Descrição
The new streetlight is aimed right at my house. It shines right in the windows all night long. It illuminates my whole yard, even trees that are hundreds of feet away.
This is a nuisance. As in, it meets the legal definition of a nuisance.
I've notified the town three times about this over the last two weeks and nothing has been done.

Hi,
Thanks for coming out today to work on this.
There is a little improvement, but the job is not anywhere near done. I do not want the whole yard lit up like a Walmart parking lot. I want it dark, dark like it was two weeks ago, dark like it has been since I moved here in 1991. Once we are back to normal, I'll be happy to leave this case closed.

Yesterday I got an email from the SeeClickFix site that another adjustment was done. If not for that email I'm not sure any difference would have been noted, as it is a minor improvement at best.
The streetlight illuminates a very wide area, to the side, not toward the road. It is not the right thing to have on a dead end street. The light is very evident 100 feet or more to the side of the pole, deep onto my property. It illuminates the interior of my house to an uncomfortable level.
To keep this case closed, a MAJOR adjustment of some kind is required. While I am grateful for the improvement, we are not done yet, not by a long way.

I first contacted the town about this problem on 6 October. When will the town fix this problem?
The new lights have generated numerous complaints from residents living wherever the lights are installed. It is unacceptable to have the lights aimed at houses, as is the case at the end of Briarwood. Two crews have been out here but they didn't fix anything, so we are pretty much right where we were almost a month ago.
Let's get it fixed!

Hi,
The last adjustment did a lot to remove the direct light on the house. Thank you.
The streetlight does still very brightly illuminate the entire front yard, which is, unfortunately, still very evident inside the house. It is much brighter than the previous fixture, and is bothersome. Please reduce the light so that it illuminates only the street and not my property. We are not talking just a few feet here, it's probably about 100' from the pole to the house, and virtually all of that is still brightly lit.
These lights are absolutely the wrong thing for residential areas, and better suited for an industrial use. If it takes getting an appropriate fixture for this area, then let's do that.
One question I have asked a few times by phone is, what is the process for requesting a street light be removed? This fixture illuminates a dead end street, and really serves no purpose. A few reflectors on the utility pole would serve just fine to indicate the road ends.

It's time to finish the job. Turn the light off, or shield it so that the light does not illuminate my property and house.
Do I have to call the office again to get this done? What is the point in SeeClickFix if all you do is ignore it???

Thank you for the additional effort to resolve this. I am not at all sure a backlight shield will help, because, as I have said from the very start, the problem is light shining out from the SIDES of the streetlight. It is located at the end of the street and there is no house behind it. The light shines in a wide arc to both sides of the street, that is the problem.
I'll see how we do with this, and for now will leave this closed. The ideal solution is to remove this totally unnecessary street light.

While I hate the new lights, in fairness to whoever chose them, it could have been a lot worse, as there are even brighter lights available. Some of the lights in the series were IDA compliant at one time, although that was to specs that were developed before LED streetlights were available. Because LED light behaves differently than sodium vapor light, the IDA has updated their rules, and the Framingham lights are no longer compliant.
I consider it a great wasted opportunity that these lights were selected. It is a new technology, and has not been perfected. By being a relatively early adopter, Framingham got burned, stuck with streetlights that are way too bright, and use way more energy than necessary. If the people making the selection had had more experience, we could have had an investment that everyone was happy with. I only hope that at some point in the future, someone will realize smaller lights would save enough money to pay for themselves, and replace them all again.
