This is just weird to me, i don't expect to see stars in a city, even before the lights were LED. They're saying the blue light scatters more and that's a problem but if the entire point of the street light is public safety then more light information is a good thing. The cities probably need new studies and information about lumens per square foot though because they're probably working off of old studies with redder light and they could probably lower the intensity and still get the same amount of light information.
