I've been reading up a bit on LED lights and one of the problems astronomically is that they are a much wider spectrum and therefore a lot harder to filter out. Sodium or mercury lights have distinctive peaks in their output which can be selectively filtered whereas LEDs not so easily. Their advantage is they are normally more efficient with how they are directed and the usual save power factors.
I think they are incandescent. I had no idea that they even used led for streetlights.
