I live on a residential back street in a small, historic, rural town. Behind us is a farmer's field. The half of our street that is located in a different township has no streetlighting. Our half of the street is lit up like a stadium. This has been an ongoing situation since November 2025 regarding health and safety concerns with the installation of 4000K bright blue, unshielded LED streetlights on and into my home (and other households'). The Council and MetEd's plan to install them throughout the Borough, despite protests from multiple households. The single LED placed across the street from my home that started this whole journey was switched out to an unshielded high pressure sodium after complaints by numerous households and press involvement. They told me that this was temporary because 3000K LED unshielded lighting will be installed throughout the Borough so I should get used to it. I have photographs of the LED light, including on and in my home. It is dangerous to drive under these blue LEDs. You cannot see out of your car windows nor the backup camera. There is so much glare. It is an absolutely unbearable light that is the visual equivalent of loud music being played all night long. I and others in my town have complained multiple times to local government, The PA Public Utility Commission, and the PA Human Relations Committee, as local government has refused to stop it, refuses to shield it, and it impacts every aspect of my life, especially my sleep. The power company does not care and has lied to other municipalities (like Easton, PA) about how bright and disruptive the lights are. I live in terror of the bright blue light returning at any time. It is an illegal public nuisance, and local government officials told me to just sue them. We have an online petition and a written petition. Please ban these horrible lights now. We should have energy efficient Low Pressure Sodium bulbs or at least orange LEDs (2000K or less) that are shielded, so they light the public areas only, and not onto and into our properties. There are people, including children, in our town who get seizures from LED lights. The local government knows and does not care. These LED lights are specifically not approved for residential areas. The photos are of my street and home under the blue-rich LED light. You can see the horrible glare that the light has from the street. Blackout blinds and curtains do not stop the light from coming into our homes. These LED lights are ruining our lives. No one should have to go through what we are going through. Please ban them from public street-lighting NOW!!!!!
