Don't let the darkness of our times out shine the heavens...

Street lights are wonderful things for scarring away the oogies that
haunt our modern society. However, most of the designs I have seen have
lacked a reflector to concentrate the light on the street where it
belongs. I may be wrong, but no one has ever been mugged 600 feet above
the street. Street lights that radiate issotropically or at annoying
wavelengths should be trashed.

P.S.

Might QSO's just be inhabited planets with street lights?
