Well, why is LPS (low pressure sodium for everyone playing along at home, took me a bit of googling to find) better for street lighting and street lighting only? I like their light, but presumably if they were better they would be used, wouldn't they?

Many people, myself included, find the limited color spectrum makes much better at not destroying nightvision and lack of blue light results in clearer seeing (while the blue-heavy light from LEDs is particularly bad).
