Sounds like heaven to me. I really dislike the absence of dark. Especially during the summer when it is hot and I would like to increase airflow by opening up the windows.
The claim, in favor of such widespread lighting, is that it makes something "safer", but the evidence seems weak on that:

- frabbit 6y agoI came across this¹ paper which seems to claim that the provision of 600,000 lumen "lighting towers" in a public housing project reduces crime.
