Here is one of them turned on and I think you'll see what I mean.
Look at the picture below and then answer the (trick) question:
Which of these lights is turned on?
It may not look like they are both turned on as many people are used to looking at the source of the light and not the intended target of the light. So let's look at the illumination provided by each lamp:
The light on the right is a retrofitted fixture from Evluma. Notice that it is putting most of its light on where it is supposed to go - down.
They do this with an LED lamp that can be screwed into many existing dusk-to-dawn yard lights. While this LED is a much bluer light than we would like to see, it certainly has much, much better shielding than the light it replaces.

Nice one!
Unfortunately, I believe that many of the people that have purchased the old style "dusk-to-dawn" lights actually PREFER to see the light going sideways to light up their garage, or side of house, or vehicles and driveway. Lighting something directly BELOW the fixture was probably not their main concern.
Unfortunately that may be so in many cases.
