Who to complain to about street light brightness?
Discussion
I noticed some men fiddling with a street light outside the house earlier and now it is ridiculously bright compared to before, it looks like they may have changed the head as an old looking one is on the floor next to it.
Its like having a floodlight outside the window and is unacceptable. Who would i need to complain to for this issue to be addressed.
They really are having a field day in Leeds these last couple of years doing everything they can to completely ruin the road layout and take away all the character from the areas by fitting one style fits all dictator lamps.
Most of them are so tall all they do is light up the top of trees, shame they couldn't find a tree to install the one outside above so it could go unnoticed
.
No surprise i live in the ring of labour mp's zone.

.Thanks for the replys. The light was fine before.
They have had poles up since before Christmas further down the road with no tops on so it is possible that they have been doing them and had some extra time to replace some of the others.
They will be using the new lights as an excuse to lower the limit shortly as well.

The new lanterns has much better optical control than the old ones. It takes time to adjust to a new night time environment and this issue tends to diminish with time. However, should the matter cause you concern then we can discuss the issue further.

My chavvy neighbour has fitted aftermarket HID to the street light outside his house.
I went to look at the old lamp that's been left and the new one.
Heres the old one,
If you look it uses a large bulb (that has been left smashed by the path for little kiddies to play with) and it give out a smooth light over 180 degrees. Looking at the new light it has a kind of bowl reflector with a bulb in.
The problem being the lamp is across the road and the light is so tall and directly opposite the house that you can clearly see the bulb whenever you look out of the window which is very bright compared to the more subdued bulb previously.
