I believe LED also needs a complex reflector to produce an even pattern of light instead of one that is marbled with the glow of each diode.

Personally, I have a strong nostalgia for the sodium-vapor orange glow, but I appreciate that the city is taking steps to be more environmentally-friendly.
Eh I like the brighter alleys, and the LEDs have a warm glow unlike the purplish glow the old ones had.
