What a disgusting change

We must take back lighting

Madness

Not a big fan of lights at nighttime, but I also rather have HPS instead of LED.

Come to find out incandescent light bulbs are illegal to sell in Belgium.

Luckily I found a nice lady who owned an electric store, who traded some incandescent light bulbs for some of my homemade soap 😎

There's a huge market opportunity for non state licenced companies producing what people want and need.

This is something you will only get on the free (black) market because states made it illegal.

Prepare for your illegality. Monero will come in handy for both the merchant and the buyer.

Befriend your local store owners and farmers. And do whatever it takes to transact as privately possible.

Incadecent light is underappreciated

Remember when Belgium used to boast about its fully lit road network?

I also member them turning off highway lights at night

You from Belgium fren?

In Germany theyve turned all the lights off at night. Cant see a fucking thing

At night it should be 2,700 Kelvin. Warm white. Here in my city, they used to have landscape architects design the street and park lights. About 3 years ago we got a globalist mayor and city council. And they purposely changed it all to 7,000 Kelvin. Bluish daylight color. I think it is to depress the population. The color has nothing to do with brightness (lumina) but everything with mood.

It sucks your energy

Which is which ?

ABSOLUTELY

Please, help me out here: LED can be bought at different temperatures. Why is this an LED problem and not a they-use-daylight-temperature problem?

Because it’s not just about color temperature, which is a superficial metric. It involves light spectrum, flicker rate, so forth. LED’s in the conventional sense offer isolated blue light, which is very damaging to a circadian system that evolved for full spectrum sunlight during the day and darkness at night.

This gives you one example of the harms involved with the eyes

I have 2700 LEDs at my house. I wear blue light blocking glasses at night. Thank you for sharing the article, I'll see if I need to replace my lights. LEDs are gentle on the electricity bill, but I don't want to get sick.

Took me a moment to realize you were saying you had 2700K LEDs. I thought you were saying you had 2,700 LEDs at your house. πŸ˜‚

You don't know my house! I have 12 of these... per bedroom!

they're all awful.

I’ve gone back to candlelight. Healthy and beautiful, what more could you ask for.

Maybe a fire extinguisher and some matches?

In Europe, Philips in the '50's introduced Natrium lights for streets and highways. This orange 'single spectrum' light has 2 big advantages: (1) low electricity usage and (2) the human eye does not get night blinded , because the orange light only triggers the cones in the eyes , but not the rods.

That's why BMW had 'orange only' display in their cars for decades. (This knowledge has been lost on newer generation of car engineers ).

I wish we brought this back

My 2013 Nissan Frontier has this. I didn't care for it until I drove something with white lighting. Now I get it.

Sodium vapor replaced mercury vapor in the 70s through thr 90s because they cost half as much in electricity. They had a whiter light, but emitted a strong green hue which was more visible to the human eye. This had a different overall color effect than the orange sodium vapor bulbs. They also emit some UVC, depending on the glass composition, which was carcinogenic and degraded many plants and plastics.

It's like all the warmth, love and humanity left for the sake of cold efficiency
