And they're horrible. They just put them in down my road and it's like prison searchlights compared to the old lighting.

To add insult to injury they put CCTV cameras on every alternate lamp as well.

And they're fine. They've just installed them in my area in East London.

The only disadvantage I've spotted is that, with the old Sodium vapour lamps, it was easier to spot when a car was coming around a bend since the headlight colour was significantly different to the ambient streetlighting. I'll adapt.

Good point.

Perhaps they put good ones in your area. I live in a cheap borough.

These ones are so bright and not diffused at all. It makes silhouettes of everything through my windows.
