How do LED landscaping lights possibly affect sea turtles and salmon? ...These people are nuts!
It’s the muzzle flash.
Have a look at this...

Knowing how I am personally affected by artificial lights, I am not surprised at the effects of lights on wildlife.
I’d like to see more studies of people he effects of odd light colors on humans.
Really? In my scientific career, I’ve seen very little fabrication of data in order to get grants. Doing that is illegal, in fact. The purpose of science is to understand the physical world better in order to advance technology. For what possible purpose would granting agencies award grants to scientists who falsify results?
Even most of the supposed “global warming” research consists of legitimate science. In those cases, politicians pushing a certain agenda direct money for “global warming” studies, and the scientists will throw those words into their grant proposals. But they’ll just go ahead and do the real science anyway.
The white and the blue-white LED streetlights and headlights are very hard on human eyes too.
The website for the f.lux software has a page listing citations for effects of artificial light on humans. The program is intended to reduce blue light output from computer screens so the citations mostly have to do with that.

All I want to know is, how long before every Walmart or Home Depot has a Zampolit placed at check out, giving approval or denial to everything we buy?
That’s what EBT cards are for.......................
Folks are missing the gem: LEDs can potentially drive away mosquitoes and other insects.
Where I live that’s a big deal!
An aside: I have a grow light. It has LEDs in both the blue and red spectrum, because those are the spectrums plants use. When it shines on an object the object appears purple.
I can attest that bugs do not fear red, blue, or purple light. I think they actually like it.
It’s not working on my cats unfortunately.
When I drive at night I use amber glasses to filter out the blue spectrum that’s so prevalent in modern headlights, and the glasses help preserve my night vision when I encounter high beams or misaligned headlights.
I’m in the planning stages of adding outdoor lighting to my rural property in the desert, and I’ve already learned that I want the “warmer” spectrum of LEDs, which actually refers to a cooler temperature of light despite the contradictory terminology. If I can’t find a “white” LED that’s “warm” enough in the light spectrum, I might just go with yellow monochrome. I want the lights primarily for security purposes so color fidelity is not a concern.
