When I bought my house, one of those old dome-style lights was right at the end of my driveway.

I seemed to remember someone saying you could request that the city replace it - so I did via they town's official website (there was actually link to report light trespass!)

Anyway, long story short, they replaced it with one that aims mostly down and not so much laterally. It's still a bright light and annoying because of it's proximity to my only backyard observing area, but when you compare it to its brothers and sisters down the street I am quite lucky.

Now if only my neighbor would turn down that darn sensitivity on his security light (placed 30' up on his roof)...
