I am a big fan of the LED streetlights they have in North Syracuse. They do a very good job illuminating the roads, with excellent color rendition even on dark rainy nights. They have flat lens, and very directional light, so very little glare from the light.
The purpose of street lights is to keep people from crashing, so brighter, better street lights are definitely worthwhile — especially when they use less energy then the older versions.
