Suspect it's because they knocked down and removed one of the lights there a month or so back. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15516#post-200494 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 23:02:47 +0000 stiltskin 200494@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Brighter and appears to be more focused. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15516#post-200493 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 22:58:36 +0000 crowriver 200493@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I presume this is LED street lighting as has been getting rolled out in various parts of the city to replace older sodium lamps.</p> <p>It is much brighter than the old lighting so maybe the contrast is an issue? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15516#post-200490 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 22:44:34 +0000 stiltskin 200490@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Used the path tonight after lighting up time for the first time since they put in the new white lighting. It is terrible IMHO. Far too 'spotlighty' with small, really bright pools of light leaving large dark gaps in between. Unless someone happens to be under a light they are effectively invisible. Absolutely unsuitable as a lighting system for a path. </p>
