Hillsborough County LDC §6.06.00 regulates outdoor lighting to prevent glare, light trespass, and skyglow. Residential exterior light fixtures must be aimed and shielded to avoid casting direct illumination across adjacent property lines.
Foot-candle limits apply at property lines (typically 0.3 fc at residential boundary). Floodlights aimed across a property line are prohibited. Brandon does not have a dark-sky designation, but excessive 'security' lighting that spills onto neighbors can be cited as a nuisance.
Code Enforcement citation; required re-aiming or shielding of fixtures.
