Description
The new LED city streetlights are insanely bright and now don’t have covers. The light shines directly into our home and invades privacy while also being a disturbance. Sunglasses are actually needed on our front porch in the evenings. We live here for this view and the atmosphere of this neighborhood, it’s been ruined by the new LED lights. Please consider adding a cover to the lights or dimming them!

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.
