The specific area that needs to be lit. It is a walkway between two buildings and the building entrance areas. Marginal lighting for the task, and a great deal of waste. Certainly much better than the first choice.
Glare never helps visibility.
A full cutoff lighting fixture, one with no direct uplight at all, and with essentially no glare. All the light is used, none is wasted. No adverse effects of bad lighting. Note the added light near the entrances. The risk there is greater than on the path, and so a lower lighting level is appropriate for the path way.
