Light Trespass: Brentwood vs Richmond

Brentwood's code prohibits outdoor lighting that produces excessive glare or spills onto neighboring properties at levels high enough to disturb use and enjoyment. Typical standards limit residential property-line illuminance to about 0.1 foot-candles and require shielded fixtures for bright sources.

Richmond prohibits light glare and spillover that creates a nuisance to neighboring properties, typically limiting illumination at residential property lines to 0.5 foot-candles measured at ground level.
