I like that thing. Do it have a glass shield to protect you from the nasty UVC?

Why I like LEDs on top of other lighting tech?
LEDs = Upgrade 95% of the applications. (That is if you avoid eBay's LEDs).

LED brainwash? No, people uses them cuz they work well for them.

It wouldn't need one.  Those old mercury lights used glass arc tubes that blocked UV in the same manor as the glass bulb on modern mercury lights.

The future of street lighting is Induction, not nasty HPS lights or cr@ppy LED lights!
Preheat CFL's should make a comeback!
