The visibility doesn't consider the massive glow that would appear to anyone seeing them outside their intended area of use due to reflections off dust and particles in the atmosphere. Light pollution goes far outside the area where cities are for the same reason, and having these in low earth orbit as a replacement for streetlights or as a spotlight would both have that happening.

The amount of light pollution we have from cities is already more than necessary given that it covers makes most stars impossible to see.

I don't think a large quantity of small fake moons is gonna help with that.
