Description
Lamp had a Sodium vapor before with orange color. Lamp shined down onto street. New light is a very bright bluish white. Lamp seems to be angled up and shines brightly on yard and through windows. A flap was installed before to give some shade. Flap is actually shading towards neighbors yard. The next lamp over on the street is actually pointed down and you cannot see the bulb until you almost under it. I have also noticed that there are newly installed LEDs on Hermitage that are more closely in color to the sodium vapors I was used to. The bright white staring into my yard and windows somewhat blinds me With the light shining in your eyes, it is hard to see to the sides and behind the light. A person could easily hide there. I am concerned that when my wife is getting in the car at night, someone could hide in the "blind" spot and run and attack her while she is getting into her car
