Duke Energy recently replaced a street light at SE corner of Jasmine Terrace South and 8th Street South (at 1020 8th St South). The replacement white light is much more intense than the old orange light. This light shines directly into our bedroom windows, and into our back yard. It is interfering with our sleep and our expensive landscape lighting. Duke is refusing to do anything about it and says the City of Saint Petersburg is the responsible party when it comes to fixing this issue. This light needs to be moved to another part of the alley!!! We spent hundreds of dollars in plants to try and block the old light to improve our sleep and enjoyment of our yard at night. This new light is like stadium lighting. IT MUST BE MOVED!

Duke Energy is currently in the process of converting street lights to higher efficiency LED technology. The street lights included in this conversion are owned and maintained by Duke Energy within the City limits. The conversion program started in June 2018 and will be completed by June 2020.
The City and Duke Energy continue to receive requests for new lights or shielding of existing lights due to the light encroachment onto private property.
We agree that either poor lighting or light encroachment can be frustrating. The good news is that LED streetlights will eliminate both problems in almost every case. LED streetlights offer advanced light focusing, sending light to the street where it is needed without the unwanted spread of light offsite. We believe the new LED streetlights will resolve most of the light distribution problems. Therefore, we have suspended installing new light shields on the old lights until the LED conversion project is completed.
