[TAC] Turning outdoor light off with laser!

Nasty street (parking lot) light (yellow sodium?) is next to my back yard. I
can turn it off with my green laser, by hitting the photo cell on top of the
light fixture, but after a few seconds it turns back. Is there any way to
keep it off?

I was thinking to make a small battery operated light hood and with a long
pole, position it on top of the fixture, where the photo cell is located.
Only problem, if a neighbor see me, may report me.

Any advice to solve this problem?
