there is a couple on Rockwood blvd coming home I get blinded by a couple
because as I am coming around a corner it hits me in the eyes. Some of the new
lights look like the middle strip of the LED is out. And Some don't. I will go
a little slower and maybe take a picture.
I do have a display board that Anna one of our YAA did when she had a shopping
mall being put up in her neighborhood and she talked to her neighborhood
council about light pollution. This was in Indian Trail neighborhood, she took
pictures of good lights bad lights and so on...

I took a look at a few of these lights (around 30th and South Freya) yesterday
around dusk. Very bright and blue with no diffuser, just two rows of bright
LEDs. I couldn't tell if they had a cut-off to prevent upward scatter, they are
quite bright out to the sides with no hood/side shielding.
I think we're on the right track here - this thread has convinced me I need to
educate myself a bit, so thanks to Paul, Cindy et al for that.
Does anyone have any more technical info about what kind of lights these are
and how they might be improved?
