Agreed. I've seen plenty of street lights that have diffuse, warm/yellow LEDs and a good downward pattern.

But my city keeps insisting on installing the blinding cool LEDs that cast everywhere! I don't get who thinks these look good, except that some people associate the cool temperature = modern.

Then again, when I walk around at night, I see a lot of houses and apartments lit up with wildly different bulb temperatures, or cool color temperatures in their living rooms. It would drive me crazy but it's possible some people don't notice these things.
