Actually, Tony, I already called Duke Energy. The person whose yard it is in paid Duke Energy to install and is billed monthly for having the light there. I called and they cannot/will not remove without the owners permission even if it was installed in violation of City Codes. Specifically Lighting code Generally.
16.40.070.4.

A. 1. "All outdoor lighting shall be designed and installed to prevent glare and light trespass on abutting property."

and

A. 2. Setback or shielding requirement. Where a multi-family dwelling of three or more units or a nonresidential use abuts property that is residentially zoned or has a dwelling of one or two units, all outdoor lighting fixtures shall be setback the minimum distance from the nearest lot line or "house-side shielding" shall be used on the residential property side of the lighting fixture as shown in the following diagram. A house-side shield consists of a visor or shielding panel that attaches to a lighting fixture. This provision is applicable for both light poles and lighting fixtures mounted on the side or top of a building or structure.

In case you are unfamiliar with the municodes related to lighting, please refer to the link below which takes you to the St Pete Municode library on lighting.

Yes the person pays rent for the light, but thats the way they work, we put it up, its not to code, but we wont fix the problem when its pointed out!

Very neighborly. Don't you agree?

The light will come down.

Ha, thats not the term i would use! And now due to duke not following codes, the property owner will have issues, and better yet duke will most likely charge to come fix something they did wrong!
