ZOMG!!! So Bright!!!
I don't know whether this is the trend or not, but a lot of places are installing lights that are wayyyyyy too bright. I almost bet that the amount of brightness in these shops are much more than a normal day outdoors.
I bet that the shop owners think that being brighter that other shops around, they can attract more customers with the blinding lights acting as some kind of beacon.
For me, such shops put me off and I usually try my best to avoid them.
I wonder how do the staff manage with these lights. Maybe the owner should supply them with sunglasses to protect them.
