@Public Problem Too "However the light at and above the "horizon" of the lights causes light pollution into the sky and annoyances when shining into someone's 2nd and 3rd story windows where the street lights should not shine. Were there any discussions on how to mitigate that impact?

Yes, window blinds ... inside the house. Incidentally, I've got one of these globe bulbs right outside my 2nd floor master bedroom bay and the blinds effectively keep all the light out. I opted for Next Day Blinds but I'm sure there are lots of other brands that will provide 'room darkening' blinds. Personally, I'd rather have to get the blinds than the house not be as lit up as it is with the PEPCO light right outside. I always feel safe walking up through my (small) front yard and up the stairs ... even late at night. Additionally, lots of folks pay good money to illuminate their front facades. PEPCO/the District is paying to illuminate mine. :)
