All outdoor floor or spot lighting on private premises shall be mounted and shielded to effectively eliminate direct glare on adjacent property or upon public streets.
(a) (1) All light sources, including signs, shall be properly diffused as needed with a translucent or similar cover to prevent the lighting element from being directly visible from streets, public sidewalks, dwellings or adjacent lots.
(2) All light sources, including signs, shall be shielded around the light source and carefully directed and placed to prevent the lighting from creating a nuisance to reasonable persons in adjacent dwellings or undeveloped areas and to prevent the lighting from shining into the eyes of passing motorists.
(b) Four or more bare incandescent light bulbs of 40 watts or greater shall not be hung along a public street or lot line.
(c) Flashing, flickering or strobe lighting and signs are prohibited, except for non-advertising seasonal lights between October 25 and January 10.
