So often the outdoor floodlights are mounted with the flat glass almost vertical. If you want the ground lit up then the lights need to be high up with the glass horizontal. You'd think lighting professionals would know this and mount the things accordingly, but most of the ones down our road shine straight out. There's one a couple of hundred yards away that illuminates our bedroom ceiling when it comes on, as it does every time a fox, badger, cat or deer wanders past. I must figure out a way to shield my meteor camera from it, as I've noticed it sometimes triggers the meteor detection algorithm.
