Deskripsyon
This street light shines directly into bedroom and living room of our newly purchased home. I've called Duke and put in a request for a Street Light Shield with work order number 286-351-46. I called Duke today and they said this street light is the responsibility of the City of St. Pete and to contact you for this request.
We are requesting a Street Light Shield to be added to pole #1-79777 on the south side of 37th Ave South just east of MLK Street.
Please advise.

It seems that your workman has arrived to perform the work but I'm not sure he's doing the job correctly. More pecking than adding a shield though, he may have the wrong work order.
Haha! :-)

Duke Energy is currently in the process of converting street lights to higher efficiency LED technology. The street lights included in this conversion are owned and maintained by Duke Energy within the City limits. The conversion program started in June 2018 and will be completed by June 2020.
The City and Duke Energy continue to receive requests for new lights or shielding of existing lights due to the light encroachment onto private property. We agree that either poor lighting or light encroachment can be frustrating. The good news is that LED streetlights will eliminate both problems in almost every case. LED streetlights offer advanced light focusing, sending light to the street where it is needed without the unwanted spread of light offsite. We believe the new LED streetlights will resolve most of the light distribution problems. Therefore, we have suspended installing new light shields on the old lights until the LED conversion project is completed.
Regarding the leaning pole comment, this pole has a slight lean, however, is still safe. The pole was recently inspected by Duke Energy’s third party pole company Osmose.
