The Son and LED both have good and poor control gear, it is not being Son or LED which makes one better to other, it is the control gear used. A LED lamp can actually produce 120 lumen per watt, most good ones are around the 100 lumen per watt, however most dimmable are down to around 75 lumen per watt.
It is harder with Son as the bulb and control gears are separate, same with a fluorescent fitting, so you can neither look at the bulb to get lumen or control gear as coatings in the bulb effect lumen per watt and methods used to start and run them, plus any power factor correction. Added to that we can see more in Orange light than other colours, however as to street lamps Son has one big problem, it is not reflected by some hi-vis safety clothing, seem to remember railway workers have a set colour because of this, but not people on the road, however the street lamp outside my house has been changed to LED, so now when I wake I have no idea if still night and light from street lamps or if day light.
I think churches look really good under son lamps, the orange looks good, using LED does not really cut it. But with LED the size of lamp is easier to select being just big enough, with son and fluorescent we seem to have huge jumps in size, it seemed most are 70, 200, or 400 watt with very little between those standard sizes, because of course they have to match the control gear, we see it with fluorescent 58W fluorescent tube replaced with a 24W LED output much lower but it was spread which was required rather than lumen output so dropping from 5400 lumen to 2400 lumen often is not a problem.
