ACKNOWLEDGED Mayor's Action Center 4 (Verified Official)
Update from Engineering: Thank you for your post. As you know, Duke Energy is currently in the process of converting all their street lights to higher efficiency LED technology. The conversion project started in June 2018 and is on track to be completed sometime in the summer of 2020.

Some of Duke’s original incandescent streetlights had custom shields before they were converted to LED, and we are working with Duke to identify those lights so that the new LED versions can again be shielded.

Additionally, some of Duke’s newly converted LED lights need to be focused or redirected from spreading onto neighboring properties, and again we are working with Duke to identify those lights so that modified equipment can be ordered, manufactured, and installed. This process takes time, at least 4 to 6 weeks in some cases. We have made note of your location and your request and will include it with the others that we are relaying to Duke.

If you haven't already, please comment back with the pole number or any other identifying description that can help Duke more easily locate the light being reported.

We appreciate your help and your patience as we work with Duke Energy to improve the lighting throughout our city. Thank you again for your post.

Your request for review of the newly installed LED street light has been forwarded to me for response. It is very helpful if you could provide me with the Pole number (silver plate, usually start with a letter and is 5-6 digits) and/or exact location (across street from your property, alley, etc).

A field check will be conducted on the site and I will update you regarding the status. As stated in the SeeClickFix response to you, if a shield is warranted, it may take 4-6 weeks for installation as they are fabricated for each site.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The field check was conducted and found the street light to be within compliance and design. Due to the light intrusion to your property, a shield will be requested for the light on Iowa. This process may take 4 weeks for fabrication and installation. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
