New Exterior Lighting At Harvard University


These are images of the new exterior lights on the front of the building at 85 Prescott Street. The lights at 95 Prescott Street may have the same problem. Each light has a shade inside of the cover. But the position of it directs light toward the windows of the apartment nearby, and shades light directed toward the front steps. It is the opposite of what one would expect the shade to do.  



Daytime image of the light on the left of the front door. Notice the shade (dark area) on the right side of this light, which blocks light toward the front steps. It is not known why this light is on during daytime especially in view of the Harvard University major effort to save energy.

This image shows the placement allowing light to shine into the nearby window.

This night time image shows how light shines toward the apartment window, but is blocked toward the steps.
