At last I find myself not alone in thinking many forms of lighting in public are just too intensely bright; from new street lighting that leaves spots in my eyes, yet curiously don't light the street very well, to the perennial problem of vehicle light; not to mention traffic and pedestrian crossing lights whose intensity (even in daylight) are way over the top. LED should mean Lights Encouraging Disaster.

Here's my near fatal experience.

Driving in the dark down a busy (cars and pedestrians) local road, I nearly killed a kid (all in black as they are), who ran across the road. Why? Because the green crossing lights were so brilliant I couldn't see beyond them and I missed the bugger by inches. Lights these days are too bright.

So maybe the French yellow lights were the best way after all ?
