8 Dupont Circle in Washington DC, from a fourth floor window. Note the glare, note the lack of adequate light on the ground, note all the waste. Another view of the same. Too much uplight, too much glare, too much waste. 10 Glare from a street light.
Glare never helps visibility.
Glare from a walkway light. A full cutoff shoe box street lighting fixture, with an HPS lamp. The control of the light output is by a reflector, not by a refractor. No up light at all. Another type of full cutoff fixture.
