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. I would suggest a silvered screen of some sort which will reflect the light *back* into his eyes, house, garden, bedroom etc. and THEN plant the hedge. -- Clever, but the sophisticate would suggest a concave mirror. Archimedes? Ships? Syracuse? Anybody? On the contrary, that would not have the desired effect. The recipient would see nothing if the he/she stood outside the focussed beam, and the lamp does not produce enough radiant energy to allow a focussed beam to set fire to the neighbour. {:-)) It depends on the optics of the mirror and it's alignment with the sun. It was stray light guv. 'onest. :-) -- Martin |
