Yeah - what about offsetting the aircraft from the lights so that you do not smash them up with the tailskid when over rotating
...... like I saw a "singaporean" airline flying a 777 at YSSY several years ago do.
He was very good - exactly on the centreline when he smashed several runway turnoff lights (the centreline lights did not exist at YSSY then..)........ we informed him of his accurate tracking abilities and the smoke/dust we observed at runway contact as did ATC - and he said nothing and kept sailing on to Singapore.
Delay - about 30 mins for runway cleanup / vacuum and hole filling goo to set.
