There used to be a place with some low pressure sodium street lamps but I don't have any photos of those! Here's just HPS.

everyone's house has piercing exterior lights or absurdly bright motion activated lights that will turn on suddely and just absolutely blind you if you're dark adapted
walking past those new LED streetlights with their sunlike single bright spot and steely blue light is like having a laser pointed directly into your eyeballs

that distinctive orange glow is warm and comfortable and inviting
they won't cook your corneas
