 Street lights - Stuartli
We had LED lamp standards installed down my road about three years ago to replace metal Victorian lamp posts that were rusting away despite being painted on a (fairly) regular basis.

The original sodium lights were quite efficient, but the new ones vastly more so and, in fact, some lamp posts down my (approximately) 400 yard street weren't replaced as the replacements' coverage was so superior.

Biggest problem was that I had a lamp post almost immediately in front of my gate posts which wasn't replaced and I was lost for some time afterwards trying to spot my own driveway. Old habits die hard....:-) Also lost the security aspect of having a street lamp illuminating my property....
