The timing and brightness is well adjusted, it feels natural, like a friendly ghost taking care of you.

The only ghosts you see are afterimages if you happen to look straight at the streetlamp ... (I find it odd; dark-adapted eyes see a lot, including movement in shadows or low-contrast obstacles - after all, our bodies know how to see well at moonlight levels of illumination. Why are we so keen to kill this ability?)
- arijun 2mo agoBecause 1) Humans night vision is significantly worse than your regular vision. Low light would cause more accidents, eg. 2) The elderly have pretty terrible night vision. Your idea would exclude them from half the day.

- arijun 2mo agoWhat? When sunset is at 5pm you want to lock the elderly up in their homes? What about those that have trouble sleeping, like many do? Or those that wake up before sunrise? This is the kind of thinking that leads to totally inaccessible cities.
- fhdkweig 2mo agoIf you want to go for a walk in the park in the middle of the night and can't see without a light, BRING A FLASHLIGHT. That's just basic safety. You never know when a power outage will strike. If you are 100% dependent on artificial light, the safest thing to do is bring your own.
