Curious to see if this comes to pass & if it'll work as intended.

The Southwestern city of Chengdu revealed it would launch its illumination satellite in 2020, which it said was designed to emulate moonlight and would be eight times brighter than the real moon.

The "artificial moon" would be bright enough to lit an area with a diameter of 10km to 80km and which coverage area could be controlled within "a few dozen meters".

A good use for such a thing would be for communities the live waaaay up north with 6 months of night in the year.
