Damn that sucks, sorry David!
I know exactly how you feel.
About 5 years ago my backyard was blackness. The old-school low wattage metal halide streetlights were on the opposite side of the road and spaced around 50M apart. Not one was visible from my yard.
Then came the underground power project.
The old wooden powerpoles with lights were dropped, and the new high brightness sodium-vapour lights went in, but, much higher off the ground, twice as many as before and on BOTH sides of the road!!
I now have three shining directly into my yard, it's like daylight out there!
The only saving grace I had was that one of them, the closest and therefore most troublesome, was faulty and after running for only a couple of hours would shut itself off. Probably a temperature thing.
Sadly that only lasted a few months before, presumably, one of the neighbours thought they were doing good and reported it.
I miss the old days, when streetlights were spaced widely apart, they were low wattage, and they were turned off at midnight!
