Does everyone remember the old lighting? The low to the ground poles that barely lit the walkways? This is an improvement simply when it comes to safety and guests being able to see the walkways. As far as the style, it's up for debate. It's in Future World, looks like they were going for something sleek and modern like with the new Tomorrowland sign.
Also, let's remember that this is all a work in progress around this area. What may look odd now, may fit in perfectly in a few years once they've implemented all of the changes. Or it could suck. Probably somewhere in the middle.
