Port Orange issues new light law

Recently, some Port Orange neighbors had a feud over a 1,000 watt light bulb that was shining from one house, onto the other.

As usual, not all neighbors can get along. And in this case a feud between nieghbors over a bright light, resulted in a change in the rules regarding how bright, outdoor louds are allowed to be. This new rule was added to the city's Nuisance Ordinance. It basically allows for safety lights, but not nuisance lights. So you're not allowed to decide you dislike your neighbor, and install excessively bright lights that shine directly on neighbor's house.

Yeah, I know. It sounds ridiculous that a simple feud would result in such silliness, but it sometimes happens. I'm just happy that I live in a city that takes it seriously when citizens have complaints or concerns. I'm a Daytona Beach native, which is just 7 miles north of Port Orange, and I sell real estate all over Volusia County. But I live in Port Orange and I love it! That much is evident in the many blog posts I've written about Port Orange. You can read them below =)
