    57 Brierwood Ln Burlington, VT, 05408, USA - Burlington Electric

    The streetlight (pole #03254) across from my house at 57 Brierwood Ln is blindingly bright. Streetlights on Shore Rd (pole #03203) and Balsam St (pole #03275) shine blinding light into my back yard. This blinding blue wave LED light has been shown to be extremely damaging to plant and animal life, and interferes with people's sleep and circadian functioning. These lights must be dimmed, pointed straight down, and shielded so no light is cast onto yards or houses. The research on the damaging effects of such blindingly bright LED lighting is extensive and unequivocal, and the sharp, black shadows they cast make neighborhoods less safe. This puts residents and the City at risk. Please address these problems as soon as possible. Thank you.

    The LED (?) streetlight across from my house is far too bright. Also, the streetlight on Balsam street (don't have the pole number) sends blinding, intrusive glare into my backyard. In fact, all the LED streetlights in this neighborhood are far too bright, sending blinding glare far beyond any reasonable, useful distance.
