The council sneaked into our road yesterday and changed our street lamps to LED. |

Surely your council is not responsible for lighting up your home!!!!??? |

But surely the local council is not responsible for providing even a little bit of light to your home? |

The street light opposite my house fell over, so they replaced it with an LED one - without the 'shade'. |

the trouble with LED street lighting, is there is no Twilight, outside of the beam.....I have a street light which "points" at the road about ten feet from my garage, and I have difficulty sorting my keys, in the dark, believe it or not. |

We had all the lamposts replaced and we now have LED lighting, it is much dimmer than before but you get used to it.....eventually. |

The one nearest us is mostly blotted out by the damson tree at this time of year. Love it when we're away in Cornwall or Wales, in the middle of nowhere with NO street lights! |

The residents of a local town would consider you luck to still have street lights. The council have turned theirs off from about 1am-6am. |

when I was growing up, living in a cottage on the side of a mountain, we had no lights - didn't bother us at all, and of course, during the war there were no street lights anywhere |

I am happy to walk about in darkness and won't normally use a torch. |

Probably the insurance companies insist on lights being on in such public buildings |

I don't put the lights on when I go to the bathroom in the night - I know exactly where everything is in the dark |
