Will new LED streetlight fixtures produce unwanted spill light?

No, the new lights will reduce unwanted spill light into homes and properties as most of the light is directed downward to the street and sidewalk.  However, if a homeowner reports that there is too much light coming into their home from the new LEDs, the Town can install a houseshield on the streetlight to control unwanted light.
