An outdoor light shield is a device that is used to block the light from an outdoor light fixture. It can be used to reduce glare, light trespass, and sky glow.

Outdoor light shields can be installed on a variety of light fixtures, including floodlights, security lights, and landscape lights.

In general, outdoor lights that are not specifically designed for wet or humid conditions should have a cover to protect them from the elements. This includes lights that are made of plastic or other materials that are not weatherproof. A cover can help to prevent the light fixture from getting wet, which can lead to corrosion and damage.
In some cases, a cover can also help to reduce glare and light trespass. This is especially important if your outdoor lights are located near windows or other areas where people might be exposed to direct light.
