Having said that, there is a sort of 'LASER' quality to high intensity LED lights, which does make it harder to estimate the distance to them.

I noticed this last night as we taxied in - the blue taxy edge lights are LEDs where I am based. I was looking at a series of these lights located at increasing distances from the cockpit, but they all seemed to be on the same 'plane' as it were, i.e. all at the same distance from us, even though obviously they weren't.
