I pretty much agree with Broadhopper. My pet peeve is the very bright white lights that seem to be focused out toward the lake. Typically these are spotlights, Also, the homes with a large expanse of glass facing the lake, with every room seemingly lit up obscuring both navigational marker lights or Nav lights on boats.

I don't have too much of a problem with solar powered dock post cap lights, or surface mount solar dock lights. Their intensity are usually less than that of the flashers or white all around lights.

For me, it's all about the intensity. When my first mate (Mrs. Upthesaukee) can't pick out the flashers, the ride goes from "happy wife, happy life" to " #@&% those shore lights! Are you sure you know where we are at? ".
