There are quite a few homes in my area that still use gas lamps at night. The HOA is pretty good about sending letters to people who install 100w 5500k led cannons in their exterior fixtures.
I've not seen a streetlight anywhere that wasn't collimated downward. Traditional neons are amber.<p>So we had it right well over half century ago as far as street lighting went.
My only gripe with amber lights is that they make me sleepy easily.
i like the concept but i don't like the stock images

How much crap to go through before finding out what it is? This is like one of those recipe sites
The safety argument for street lighting makes me sad. I'd prefer if people just used their phone torches at night.<p>I used to cycle home in pitch black, watching the stars. Never had any incidents, others would notice me or I them before anything happened
There are lots of safety arguments for street lighting.<p>For one, as a city dweller, I would be absolutely terrified walking around at night, having to rely on a flashlight to see anything. Not just a "scared of the dark" thing, but good outdoor lighting discourages things like robberies and assaults. And sure, cars could just use their headlights, but still, visibility in populated areas would be very bad, and safety for pedestrians at night would be awful.
