If streetlights in your area are affected by this issue, contact your local authorities to report the problem.
Contact the very authorities that installed the now defective lamps, stating they... don't produce light? produce harmful UV? hurt your eyes?
I don't know how things work over there but as long as the fixture produces light without any strobing or such, I don't think you're in a great position to complain.
Hopefully this article will shut the attention seeking conspiracy nuts down...but it probably wont.
To be fair, would anything? "You cannot reason a person out of a position he did not reason himself into in the first place"
