I know the new LED street lights are better energy wise but I really miss the orange glow of the old sodium discharge lights.

They just had a nicer mellower feel to them. Like candle light or a warm fire.

I guess I just really hate white light,

I agree. The nostalgia of being out on the street with the other kids under that orange glow.

@AdmiralPrune There is some nostalgia but it isnt just that. Its the fact that nighttime should't look like daytime. Color renditionnisnt important to light a street or see where you are going

I agree

@TheDeathOCuHullainn The white LEDs dont feel "night like"

I agree and I am blinded by the new car lights

The market canopy has the most awful operating room lights, I really want to replace them with something warmer

@MethDozer I agree, I feel like my eyes are being pulled on?? when I am in a room with that type of light

That's a weird description but it's the only way to describe it

@caccoon thats a good way of putting it,but i can go on for hours of why it sucks. It belongs in workshops and that's about it.

@MethDozer yeah it definitely has a utility (visibility) but it's draining to be around
