I always tell my teenage sons driving at night decreases your response time at least 100% because you see only half the distance (Even with modern LED lighting).
In reality it is much worse because our headlights (low beams) are only effective up to 500 ft. If you travel faster the reaction time is much less. LED seems safer but remember - bright lighting tends to obscure the dark areas your headlights do not shine upon (like the areas oncoming traffic come from).
