If you suspect a near-by  light is being used for some kind of "illegal" growing operation, you might be able to use that as leverage, to your advantage. If the people with the lights are less than totally cooperative, tell them, or better still demonstrate with a portable radio, that the thing is radiating all over the neighbourhood and could well attract unwanted attention unless they clean it up immediately. You could offer them advice on how to do it or tell them where they could go to find out the information for themselves. Be friendly and let them know you don't care what they might be growing in the privacy of their own home, and that you aren't interested in reporting this to anyone further, on the condition that the interference goes away. 

Maybe the story would spread by word of mouth amongst their  friends and associates, perhaps even over internet, and this would help alleviate this problem elsewhere as well.
