 Street Lights

So my grow area has an alley running next to it, and the building on the other side has a super bright ass light that is pretty much directly over my plants all night. I've been spending hours out there trying to set up tarps and shit, but it's hard to do in a manner that will be easy to put up/take down every day.
How much damage will this do to my flowering cycle? Any ideas on what to do?

It's gong to fuck the shit out of it. Go indoors or find another site.

Not really an option, guess I'll have to get more creative with those green tarps. I also thought about getting a ladder and painting the light green but I'm pretty sure they'd figure out who did it.

I'd go ahead and paint it green. The vast majority of people are unaware that green spectrum light wont affect flowering plants yadda yadda.

The green paint seemed too sketchy so I ended up just riggin up the tarps a little better.
Basically I nailed one half of the tarp to my fence so people can't see through it from the alley, then I took the other half that was still just hanging there and I put a PVC pipe through the end of it so that I could lift it evenly. Then I nailed some hooks onto the wall of my house and now I can simply lift the tarp up and hang the pipe from the hooks. It's still not pitch black out there but most of the light that makes it through is filtered through the green tarps so my ladies should be good.
The only down note is that I now have to go out every night/morning to put up/take down this damn thing. I guess painting the light would have been the better option just based on that fact alone.
