Runway/Approach LED lighting

Does anyone else harbour a high intensity dislike of LED approach, touchdown zone and runway lighting?

I find, and have heard similarly from colleagues, that depth perception is significantly more difficult when faced with an array of very intense pin-point white lighting. A white runway LED, for example, 1000m away appears to me to be exactly the same intensity one 100m away.
