Route 3 and 11 Intersection Weirs Beach

I would like to hear another opinion on this intersection... We all know it as a very dangerous intersection and we have all heard the talk about traffic signals in the future. Lets talk about the present, the last two nights I have driven through the Weirs on the way home. I am perplexed that the City of Laconia allowed the new mini golf course to put up lights that look like they have enough Candlepower to take care of Fenway park!!! I can't imagine I am alone in the feeling. These lights not only drown out the intersection and cause a safety isssue, but that they are so bright that they are literally a distraction as far back as Handy Landing. I caught myself staring at these gigantic lights and not looking at the road. My fear is that nothing will happen UNTIL something bad happens. Could these fixtures be realigned so the aren't staring drivers in the face??? Let me know if anyone else thinks these are a distraction and a hazard to the public.
