Agreed. THere's a street lamp outside my bedroom window. It used to be a dull yellow, which was still plenty to illuminate the surrounding sidewalk and parking spaces. And didn't impact my sleep. A year or so ago, the bulb was replaced with a bright white bulb. It might produce more light, but it's a distracting color and brightness when outside and it's bright enough that we have to install black-out blinds to sleep.

I have one too, and now they’ve stuck a white ANPR camera directly under the bulb reflecting the light back anywhere but down. The local councils in the UK are clueless when it comes to lighting.

It’s worth mentioning that if a street light shines in your window you may be able to contact your town and have them shade that side.
My city has a contact on the web, you identify the light and what you would like shaded, and they come around and block the light on that sector. In my case it looks like they painted a section of the diffuser black.
