Lu Weiqian, 55, and her family found themselves with a light pollution problem more than a month ago after a new shopping mall next to their residential building lit on a huge LED screen to deliver welcome messages and attract customers.
Lu's family lives in a fifth-floor apartment on downtown Qiujiangzhi Road in Hongkou District. The woman complained her family is the most heavily disturbed since the new shopping mall built its LED high bay light about the same height as their apartment window across the street. Her family and neighbors have to close all their curtains early in the evening to try to get some peace.
