    Wouldn’t it be far more effective just to put Wi-Fi routers in said street lamps though? You’d almost certainly need far fewer of them for the same coverage.

      Wi-Fi suffers from congestion due to everything using the same bands for everything. My understanding is that LiFi is not meant to replace Wi-Fi but to supplement it.
