If you fit a floodlamp, make sure it's adjusted not to

It's amazing how many floodlamps are either incorrectly fitted or
adjusted. I regularly take my dog for a nighttime stroll (yes, I do
clean up after him!) and walk along pavements and trigger floodlamps
right across fairly wide streets; the resulting "beam" shining way
past me into all the nearby properties.
