I was going to suggest the same thing. A lot of streets have very bright lights that cover a larger distance than the older ones for the same power requirements. 50% is a good start.

Maybe they could invest in LED lighting on the bases of the street lamps as markers for night time strollers?

I believe the council has to take action on remedying this. The same thing happened at one of our old houses and they came round and put a small blanking plate on one side after our neighbour complained to stop it shining directly in. Mind you these were old style round topped lights not the standard shine down ones you see now.
