Exterior Lighting (rant)

It annoys me when people fit exterior lights and just aim them
horizontally - thus ensuring that half of the light is wasted or is an
annoyance to other people. Typical PIR Controlled 500 watt lamp - "walk near
me and I will light up the houses across the road!"
The worse type of light often fitted commercially is the bulkhead light with
a 2D fluorescent tube - these get fitted to the walls of buildings and only
serve to shine into your eyes to make your iris close down so that dark
areas look even darker.
Good planning should ensure that the ground is well lit without the light
source shining directly into anyone's eyes.
