OK,Mr. Conspiracy Nut,please explain just what good it does to pump megawatts of expensive light into the sky rather than direct the light onto the ground.

Further why should your paranoia that demands floodlighting your property be allowed to include floodlighting MY property?

Maybe we should call those lights you need, "INSECURITY" lights.

And I don't care for the amber lights either nor the anemic LED /solar road lights;much better would be white lights that simply shine on the sidewalks,lots or whatever and neither into the sky nor blind those who wish to enjoy a view of the sky from their property.

I travel a major highway lit from ONE side by blazing lamps angled about 45 degrees in a vain attempt to light 5 lanes ! They shine in one's eyes and over the neighboring hillside;I bet a fourth of their light actually falls on the road! But the old lights on both sides did a much better job.

'Light trespass'
He began researching the effects of too much nighttime glow back in 2005, when he was primarily worried about "light trespass," or the spill-over of street, yard and porch lights into neighboring homes.

You're pulling out your playbook now.
