Are San Francisco's new LED streetlights too bright?

Some San Franciscans think the city's new LED-powered streetlights aren't such a bright idea. In June, city officials announced a major push to replace 12,500 outdated streetlights with brighter, more energy-efficient light-emitting diode fixtures, also known as LEDs. The lights are intended to increase visibility and curb electricity and maintenance costs. But some people, blinded by the bright white glow of the new LED lights, can't get behind the city's new nighttime hue.
