A tale of two lamps
This photo is taken from the bridge over the Warschauer Strasse S Bahn station in Berlin (daytime street view). Good lamps aren't visible from the side or above.
Unfortunately most lamps aren't good lamps, as you can see in the original:
It's pretty likely that the brightly lit area under the "good" lamps is overlit, because it's so much brighter than the other lit areas. So actually these lamps aren't really ideal either. But it demonstrates the point that there is no need to waste energy and destroy the night by shining light in directions that aren't at all useful.
