# Street Light Outage, 5 Emerson Cres, Canterbury, Diamond Harbour 8971, New Zealand

Diamond Harbour, Christchurch · filed 23 May 2026 · report 8294923

> Hi there, one of the bright white street lights in our street is shining directly into our bedroom and is quite disruptive at night, even through the blinds. The lighting overall feels very harsh and creates a lot of light spill into nearby properties. Areas like Lyttelton seem to use warmer/orangey-toned lights which feel much softer while still providing good visibility. Could this lighting please be reviewed? Thank you.
