It's got nothing to do with intensity, which would be impossible to achieve, for all practical purposes. The article misused the word here. Rather, it's about color temperature.
I think this problem is overblown, because I've not heard similar complaints leveled against mercury-vapour lamps. I've grown up around them nearly all my life.
When you replace 1:1 vapor laps with LEDs an adequately lit parking lot becomes lit like a stage.
Though to your color temp point, if we could get lower color temperature that'd be great. IIRC red LEDs are much more efficient than full spectrum anyway.
