Description
The bulb for the street light across from my property appears to have recently been changed to a brighter bulb. The angle of the bulb must be different than the original as it is now throwing light more horizontal. The problem is that it is projecting eye piercing light in my backyard at night. As such, please have a light shield installed on the fixture.

Update from Engineering: Thank you for your post. As you know, Duke Energy is currently in the process of converting all their street lights to higher efficiency LED technology. The conversion project started in June 2018 and is on track to be completed sometime in the summer of 2020.
Some of Duke’s original incandescent streetlights had custom shields before they were converted to LED, and we are working with Duke to identify those lights so that the new LED versions can again be shielded.
Additionally, some of Duke’s newly converted LED lights need to be focused or redirected from spreading onto neighboring properties, and again we are working with Duke to identify those lights so that modified equipment can be ordered, manufactured, and installed. This process takes time, at least 4 to 6 weeks in some cases. We have made note of your location and your request and will include it with the others that we are relaying to Duke.
If you haven't already, please comment back with the pole number or any other identifying description that can help Duke more easily locate the light being reported.
We appreciate your help and your patience as we work with Duke Energy to improve the lighting throughout our city. Thank you again for your post.

This site was visited and found the light is installed according to the design but not the Letter of Agreement with the City.
A 70w LED was designed inadvertently to replace a 100w HPS instead of a 40w LED. The construction team is being scheduled to replace the 70w LED with a 40w LED.
