Outside light complaint

[Rappid]

Customer asked me to install some lights down their side access to the garden, it's pitch black as there is no street lighting nearby.
They have chosen some half lantern types with low energy flourscent type bulbs.
I installed it last week and now one of the neighbours are complaining about the light as they do not have any curtains.
There is a parking area seperating my clients fence to the house where this guy lives and the lights on the wall are above the fence line, does the neighbour have a valid complaint?

exactly what i said, its between the customer and the neihbour its not your problem rappid

IMHO Your customer chose the light fittings and you put them up as instructed. It's up to them. If they want you to change them you could give them a quote for installation in the same way as any other contractor would. I would not suggest a 'solution' as it may not be satisfactory for either the client or the neighbour, and I would not want to be going back time and time again to make adjustments. I wouldn't get involved with the dispute at all. There could be a long standing feud between them for all you know.
