Section 14.04.05 prohibits visible bare incandescent bulbs from adjacent property and requires wall-mounted lights to direct downward. Light spilling onto neighbors is a violation.
Lake Havasu City's exterior lighting code makes light trespass an enforceable violation. Bare incandescent bulbs may not be visible from any adjacent property. Wall-mounted fixtures must be directed downward (not horizontally or upward) to prevent spillover. Outdoor public and private facility uses normally expected to cease operation by midnight may not be illuminated after midnight unless otherwise allowed by code. Pole-mounted area lighting in residential and mixed-use districts is capped at 20 ft height, with stricter caps near residential zones.
Civil zoning citation; correction order; fines up to $500 per day until shielded.
