No, it's not the nature of the beast. My point is that this is a very specific beast, one that ignores the lighting standards set forth in the WI DOT Bicycle Facility Design Manual.
Again, I'm not asking for an installation with universal aesthetic appeal, just one that helps light the path, as the manual suggests, without forcing my pupils to do these optical calisthenics. With the current design they're fully dilating and contracting, as I continually shift from bright light to near darkness at each interval. I think there's probably a workable design out there or on the technological horizon and I'd much rather hold out with my trusty LED bike light than endure the fixtures currently proposed. Dave .
