Much of the correspondence I receive (and there's a lot of it) is from people, both astronomers and non-astronomers, who suffer from neighbours' security lighting, and feel that there is nothing that they can do about it, since there is as yet no legislation on light as a nuisance. In some cases, people's quality of life is affected to the extent that they have had to change living patterns, jobs, or even move house. The law of nuisance states that one is entitled to the 'enjoyment of one's property', which includes legitimate pursuits undertaken on that property. Light is not yet(!) a statutory nuisance, but note the use of the word in the judgment below. Here is the story of someone who did do something about it.
