With the change in street lighting from the old traditional light source system to the new LED system, I am writing to request that the street light outside my house is dimmed to reduce the amount of light it emits. The street lights on my road were updated back in September 2023 and as requested by the BCC website, I have given it time for me to adjust to the new whiter light. However, it has been two years and this is the third winter, where obviously street lights turn on earlier, that I have found this street light to be extremely bright. It is glaring when I come out of my front door and it is dazzling and off putting when sat in my front room. It seems to be excessively bright not only directing its light onto the road and pavement where it is needed but also into my front room and garden. I attach some photos which illustrate my point and I look forward to hearing from you.
