Is there a law about outdoor residential lighting in PA? If so, how do I find it?

I have a neighbor who insists upon using a floodlight that shines directly into my home. It lights up my backyard like daylight. I have asked him nicely three times to remove it and replace it with solar lights or find another alternative but have beenmet with resistance. I am hoping there is a law to regulate this.
There is no ordinance in town yet. The zoning officer is aware of the situation. If there is a PA law regarding it, I should be able to hold him to that. BTW- I also gave him a gift card to Lowes and some flashlights to make it easier for him to remedy. I figure my next steps would be legal action or a fence.

Where can I find lights for my garden that get charged during the day and light up during the night?

I think I can find a nature-friendly product to provide light to my garden during the night. Something that could get charged during the day using solar energy. Any ideas?

How do I build a timer (60-300 seconds) for my PIR activated LED lighting. I’m building from Radio Shack parts?

I know how to wire the LEDs, want to find a way to wire a timer between the PIR and LEDs for outside security lighting (rural Hawaii, ice-heads like zombies creeping around all night).
I wanted to build it using maybe a IC 555

How Do You Hook Up LED Lights Through A Poster?

We’re having to do a chemistry project over an element, and since me and my partner are doing krypton we thought it would be cool to hook up white LED lights to spell out Krypton for our title. Only problem is, we have no clue how to do it. Any tips or tricks? We figured foam board would be easiest to use since it’s rigid, but other than that we’re clueless. Thanks for the help!

How can I convert the “innards” of a standard light to use with my low voltage outdoor system?

I want to use a standard outdoor post light but change the socket and wires so that I can connect it to my low voltage circuit and use a 10-25 w low voltage bulb. BTW, I’m replacing a fixture that is too old and decrepit to fix. It used a double pin bayonet type bulb.

Can any suggest a light sensor control that can turn on and off my outdoor lights?

To install on my existing outdoor lights
I meant to say that it would be light sensitive so that when the day is dark in the evening it truns the lights on (outdoor) and trurns off in the morning
