Tl;dr: Add a reflective "cone" to each street lamp.

===Reasons===
* Reduce [[light pollution]], such as
** Light that shines into people's windows at night
** Light that awkwardly goes into your eyes and makes it harder to see when walking at night. {{pn|TODO: add a picture example to demonstrate}}
* Increase the efficiency of street lamps
** Streets are lit better, because light that would otherwise go sideways is instead reflected downward to where it needs to go.

===Investment required===
Relatively little compared to replacing street lamps. A simple metal cone will do.

<tab name="Research needed for this section" collapsed><small>
* Should the "cone" really be cone-shaped, or is parabolic better? In either case, need to suggest more details about the shape (i.e. maybe a 120-degree cone?).
* Would simple steel or aluminum be reflective enough, or is some silver needed (and if so, how much)?
* Retrofit details: For each of the most common street lamp models, what would be the best way to attach the cone?{{npn}}
* Cost per capita - quick estimates{{x|could be based on a particular city's population density and streetlight density}}
** In terms of money
** In terms of [[energy]] or [[labor]] (consider manufacturing and installation){{x|If no data is available, just extrapolate from monetary cost. Also consider the standard amounts of energy needed to process metals (per unit mass).}}</small>
{{pn|New wikipages could be made for details of specific implementations.}}
