That’s is a great start. Some of the lamps in my neighborhood are so obtuse they point up. I call them “reverse streetlights”, because they cast a wide shadow around their base while illuminating the sky. Fuck this nonsense, it should be illegal. Then again it’s in the same development that put an every burning gas lamp in the front door of every house.
the technology connections guy had this great video clip he took while landing in ohare to show well made street lights vs not. IE if they were visible from the plane or just the light from the road reflecting up was.
This is actually fairly normal, you want them to illuminate the ground after all, so a reflective shade makes sense. Most street lamps already do this in most of the world
Point them down and use a shade. Isn’t that the best way?

The ground reflects the light up however
Time to paint the ground with Vanta Black!
