Streetlight Oddities

Sudden, it was sudden, in the same way as the office or school with their bright, white
fluorescent lights took ownership of your body, mind and time
the fluorescent streetlights took the street.

Main Post

Recently on my road, there was a slight change. So small my friend, ever so vigilant with mathematics, didn't notice it. All the lights on my street had changed from a pumpkin orange to a fluorescent white.

The change did not immediately rub me the wrong way, however after some time I noticed it.
The street seemed dimmer, but why?

The change was height.

The new streetlights:

These streetlights were much higher and much of the light was being blocked by the many trees along the road.

The old streetlights: image

By contrast the old streetlights were much closer to the ground and thus were not obstructed to the same degree as the new streetlights.
