Recently the management of my apartment building decided to replace a
defective sodium light with one of those cheap "home street lights"
(mercury vapor) that are available in do-it-yourself stores.  The old
fixture was flush mounted against the building and was directed out and
down onto the parking area.  The new light is on an "arm" and extends
about 3 feet out from the building.  The result is that my bedroom
window is about 6 feet away from this fixture, and bathes my bedroom
in a perpetual dawn.

I asked the management if they could shade the side facing the building.
They responded that they knew of no way to do this.  I ask the masses:
Do you know of any way to place a shield (made of what, please?) on the
inside of the globe to shade the light?

There used to be an apartment building behind my parents home in which
they had put a shield inside, but the light is long gone, so I cannot
see how they did it.

Thanks,

                         - tom
