A judicious used of high beams and snow-melting fog lights from your truck that is adjusted to face that site may garnish attention, LOL.
IMHO, do what you want in your site. When it spills over into mine, ya gotta give a little to be a good neighbor. But when it is obnoxious in your site because of the lack of manners by others...they surrender their 'right to light' LOL.
Only had 2 situations with light issues.
First was in our early days of canvas bunks. First time there and the host didn't know his back scare light was on. The entire canvas illuminated, LOL. Apologies all around for disturbing each other, followed by a good week of shared lunches and activities by most of the surrounding campers. Made all good friends there.
Second was one of those V's designed to direct light towards others' sites. Nope. Same as headlights, IMHO. I spoke to host, who said go ahead back to my site and he'd come by in a few mins to look for himself.
I told him we didn't say anything all evening, but it was well past time everyone was in bed.
Heard a knock-knock across the way...dogs barking, kids screaming, even a few gun shots...just kidding, LOL. Simple as pie. They found the switch and turned it off. Next nights, it wasn't on.
I think it was a new camper and they didn't know where the switch was or how bright it was.
I stopped on my walk past the next day and thanked them for turning them off. Said they look cool, but really throw a lot of light our way. Also mentioned that we, like most people, turn most if not all our outside lights off when we turn in for the night.
Nice people. Sometimes tech bites you ;)
