Reply to comment by Oldladyweirdo in What does this tag on our streetlight mean? by BaltimoreBanksy

Last summer my husband climbed up and put black contact paper on the part of the light that faces our house to help dim it. We have cafe lights, so the blinding LED is really unnecessary- especially given that it is directly outside our bedroom window. Kinda feels like the city didn’t really consider the residents living next to these lights before deciding that we all needed 10,000 lumens.

Anecdotal, but I've heard that you can call the city and they'll put up a light shield to keep it from blinding you in your house.

I don't know any specifics. I'd start by calling the dept of public works, I guess.
