Narrative:

The floodlights on the [sea] north satellite between spot 55 and spot 66 that (I think) are intended to illuminate the ramp are instead creating a safety hazard because they are totally blinding to pilots that are trying to taxi on taxiways B and west. The usual terminal floodlights are bad enough but these are bright and blinding. It makes me angry to think about it. These lights need to go away before they cause a serious accident.
