New York has done a great job at reversing its reputation as a high-crime destination;the futuristic-looking lamps go one step further and make the city more generally appealing/inviting to total outsiders like myself.

The city used to look so beautiful at night before sodium bulbs were installed to supposedly decrease crime according to then Mayor Lindsay. Instead the crime rate continued to climb and the city resembled a max security prison yard with all of the harsh bright light. The city started to tone down the wattage of the sodium bulbs during the last fiscal crisis and wouldn't you know it, the crime rate went way down. The light color of the led is very pleasing to the eye and I'm sure, will bring beauty back to the night time city again. You never know, we may even see the stars again. I agree!
