I don't like the Revere fixtures because of the way the lenses are shaped like a backwards egg and also there tiny sag lenses.

I don't find any street light, HID or LED, to be bad looking. They're all unique in their own way.

Except the cheap Chinese stuff you see on eBay and Amazon.

Ahh those, I usually just call them eBay or Amazon specials. Both the floodlights and the streetlights.

For me it would have to be cheap no name LED street lights on ebay that cause more issues than they solve. It's even worse when one of these cheap LED fixtures replaces an older, high quality fixture with 20+ years of service and many more decades to come. I do however like the look of the Sylvania StreetLEDs as they aren't a boring flat spatula shaped light that blends into the arm it's mounted on.

I actually bought a 6-pack of Hyperikon LED candelabra filament lamps back in 2016. All but one have worked perfectly despite being in a living room where they're heavily used.

Finally someone else who understands.  ;D I've never really liked how the refractors look "backwards" on Revere stuff either.
