Laser for Street Lights

[RocketBagel]

Hey I'm completely new here and all I want is some guidance on a cheap rechargeable laser that I can use to turn off a street light in my backyard. Its in the middle of a block of houses so it doesn't even light up the street at all. It has recently started flickering and it shines directly through my window onto my bed. I heard that you can turn them off with a laser and thought that it would be a cool and relatively inexpensive thing to set up. Can someone recommend me a low cost laser that would be able to turn it off?
Thanks

That streetlight seems to be on the older side of things.... not sure if that makes a difference however.

Look across the forums though, this question has been asked before.

Might try to get the city to remove, or at least, deactivate it. If it serves no useful purpose that should be easy.

I agree with Paul. I had a similar situation at my old apartment, and I just had to send a few emails and wait a week. Success will vary depending on your local government's or power company's responsiveness

Even if you managed to accomplish this, it requires a relatively high power laser to be active all night. This is going to attract the wrong kind of attention to your area.

Call the city instead.

This forum frowns upon such things-- very illegal -- AFAIK

IF.. you had searched before posting and read the posts you prolly would never made this thread.

Yeah you're basically asking the forum how to destroy property. That's not good at all. I mean how dumb is that?

Saturating a photocell doesn't destroy anything. Chill.

Uh I am chill? Just saying it was stupid. But thanks for replying. You have a good day now.
