Default Trees for screen

Hi,

My neighbour insists on switching on his "retina burner" (500W HAaogen
Light) every night which lights up my whole garden and blinds me should
I look out my kitchen window after about 9 pm . I would like to plant a
bushy tree about 8-9 feet high to partially block this out. Can you
suggest something tallish with dense foliage which might suit this
purpose.

Ta

PS He has previously refused to leave the light off so asking politely
is not an option


Since you've asked an airgun is prob out of the q as you would be the first
suspect. If its close enough, a quick squirt from one of those kids water
soaker pistols might break it since the bulbs get v hot and a splash of cold
water might breka it (just a guess).
Otherwise, plant a leylandii or two as close as you can, best bet for rapid
growth.
