Inver said I wanted to take it to court. I even spent $500 to put a tree to try and block it. What pissed me off is when they shut it off so their x-mas lights could be seen then cranked it back up. Obviously they are not clueless as to how bright it is.

True.

But they may be clueless as to it bothering people - especially if none of their neighbors have the guts to talk to them about it, or from people who hang out on their decks at night and are unable to put up curtains ...

I had the same problem with a neighbor a few years back...I simply went over and told them the light was keeping us up and was basically a nuisance. They simply started turning it off around 10PM every night and we've never had a problem since.

Spending money on blinds or say a $500.00 tree never crossed my mind...
