Well a slying prowler thief could be behind them as you walk waiting to JUMP on you....so it's good to have a bit of extra light at public places for protection....drug dealers LOVE to be in the dark.....
I read they were installed for safety reasons. An university student was murdered last year somewhere in this area during some sports game.
As far as lumen maintenance goes, we will see. But let me tell you what I have seen. The LEDs in Los Angeles, I can tell the difference in light output between one just installed and one installed eight months ago. A mercury lamp in use for eight months wouldn't have dimmed that fast, maybe just a little bit of color shift, unless it was of poor quality.
