Yes our cities are grossly over illuminated. This is the best news ever, id like to see the streetlights go off, permanently. I have a 1 watt LED torch that throws a beam across the street. if every streetlight bulb was replaced with a 1 watt LED with a fully shielded reflector, it would produce enough light to illuminate the area underneath, but not fill the sky with light and not cost a lot to run, but hey, that makes sense and with our governments and councils, making sense is outlawed, its a hanging offense!
