I’ve stared at that grid for years and still can’t find a perfect formula. Light is a dance of angles and shadows, and if you tweak a pole’s height or angle, you change the whole feel of the block. Safety needs even spread, but if every lamp casts the same shape, the city looks flat and dead. Maybe try staggered angles, a little asymmetry, and watch the streets breathe. It’s the small visual quirks that keep people moving and eyes wandering.
