I was annoyed when our B road street lamps were fitted with LED
replacement lamps. Much too bright in my view and not directional (I
understood that the previous sodium fittings had a lens which directed
most of the light in the direction of travel).
Coming home after 11pm yesterday, I was amused to note they are now as
dim as tired tungsten:-)

Perhaps they were deliberately dimmed to save money? My local
streetlamps are switched off completely at 1am.
