“The blue light is damaging to the retina.”
I believe it. These LED lites are being forced on the public. Cree got tons of our tax $$$... They are replacing the sodium bulbs on neighbourhood street lights with LED as well, and the people’s voice doesn’t count, even in historic, well-heeled and vocally opposed neighborhoods.I believe this is part of the “smart-grid” so there’s a good chance they are online.
On the road they are like permanent brights. I loathe them. As for the increasing Popeyes which another poster mentioned they are here like an army of one eyed men. I think they must be networking.
I’ve seen some parking lots that have switched to LED lighting and they don’t seem as harsh to me as the sodium lights.
The LEDs are dramatically cheaper to operate and they last longer, that’s why cities love them.
Color temperature is often an issue. In an historic district you would probably want something closer to 2500 Kelvin rather than 5000.
My Hghlander is a 2001, but at 95,000 miles looks like a three year old car. But I need to polish the headlights as they are quite cloudy. I’m thinking of adding a cheap clear foglight in the rear, as the backup lights suck!
