Description

Yay for new solar LED lights for the bike path.
Boo for them being set up so bright that you have to squint or shield your eyes to walk under them.

The lumens on these lights need to be monitored or adjusted - they are so bright that it's now both unsafe (if I have to squint or shield my eyes, I can't be alert to my surroundings) and unhealthy (pretty sure they're bright enough to do eye damage).

Please inform either the MBTA (who maintains the bike path) or the City that the tech needs to check these lights at night.
