Part of the problem is that the US lighting lobby effectively kept any-
thing other than their cheap sealed beams out of the country since they
wrote the legislation 40 years ago.  Meantime, technology has moved ahead
and in other countries you have cut lenses instead of molded lenses, which
provide significantly greater control over light spill.  In this country
Westinghouse/Sylvania/et all gave in to the extent of halogenizing their
old molded sealed beams which only agravates the problem they already had
with light control.  If you want good lighting you should install good
lighting.  Presently this means European lighting with separate bulbs
and lenses.
