Science shows 3000K has too much blue wavelength in the spectrum-- increasing risks for human health, ecosystems and environment. But just like the tobacco and lead industry successfully stalled the truth and regulation about the risks, lighting idustry is doing the same. People, do your homework, and speak up. I've seen the brand new patented Lumican 2200K LED streetlight that is outstanding quality without the health risks,and I heard they also have an amber LED, too that is outstanding. The point is that it is possible to light responsibly-- without risks to humans, envirnonment and ecosystems. Too many cities jumped in too soon-- before the LED technology was developed enough, and the citizens are paying the consequences while the lighting industry rakes in the profits. I would LOVE to see a TOTAL RECALL of all the harmful LED streetlights installed-- on the lighting industry's dime.
@Chronic Blast the comment is talking about an issue called "blue light" that our phones and electronics give off. As far as I know the name is not only referencing a blue tone, but the specific spectrum/intensity of light that's been shown to cause disruptions in people.
hmm. Light Pollution, a very real thing, seems to have been forgotten. the reason we used orange/amber street lights is because at one time in human history, we wanted to reduce the pollution we put out on this planet, that included Light Pollution, Light Pollution disrupts growing cycles and hampers ground based observatories.
Exact! This is very true, if soon or in the future the comfortable and perfect orange and blue streetlights would return to every city, it would look great!
Looks like the street lights we’ve got in San Leandro, CA. They are “only” 3000K indeed but aren’t shielded in any way, thus appearing very bright. It puzzles me that the communities are still installing those while more eye - and environment - friendly options are available now. The City of Berkeley, CA, for example, started transitioning toward dimmer lights this year. The harsh LED lights should be fully recalled and banned from this planet!
Quite right. After the neighbor in front of my house installed these disgusting cold white LED lamps, the normal sleep for me has ended. I am glad he's a reasonable man and after talking it over he changed them to less bright yellow lamps.
It's an ideology now want things too bright at night now that everything is ideological! Politics on both sides and across the spectrum is partly to blame. Being "Progressive" increasingly means technologically progressive and being ideologically "environmentally aware" without really valuing nature, among other similar contractions. Meanwhile many "Conservatives" are now not tradition valuing so much as they are instinctively against what they think is progressive, such as being environmentally concerned. And are all about conformity. This reactivity has now been mirrored by many "progressives" and "liberals" (often highly illiberal in reality). It is all so stupid! People across the political spectrum want everything lit up "for safety" -and also just to conform. Unfortunately, people's environmental conserns (for those who have them) are often abstract in nature but they increasingly don't actually value what is natural or nature itself! More big trees being cut down in many older neighborhoods and many newer neighborhoods being largely treeless is another example of this awful trend.
An HPS(High Pressure Sodium) streetlight has a color temperature (Kelvin/CCT (Correlated Color Temperature)) of about 2000K - 2200K, which is healthier for the Circadian Rhythms of People AND Wildlife. Another aspect is the Intensity of the light (Lumens Flux and/or Candela (Candle Power))..., LEDs come in every color under the rainbow AND are dimmable..., So why not dim the lights to 50% output and SAVE even more money & use less electricity ?? If you believe that Bright Lights will keep you safe, then you are mistaken. Under that logic, there would be Zero crime during daylight hours & Gas Stations(which are amongst the most brightly lit places in town) would the Safest places on earth. Criminals have the same eye structure as law-abiding citizens..., Only active vigilance by Police, Neighbors & Business Owners prevent crime NOT ANY amount of lighting. Also, to those who say, well just use blackout/room darkening curtains & sleep masks..., You & I have that luxury but, wildlife doesn't. Another point, if people close their curtains because of bright lighting well, that equals less vigilance by neighbors and better opportunities for criminals since nobody's got their curtains open. Oh, and more use of A/C during warmer months instead of having the windows open at night so, that is a factor in more energy use. They must be able to make shields for the fixtures to avoid Light Trespass unto neighboring properties. Oh, and the "Industry Standard" of 4000K is set by the lighting industry alone and that will soon fall as more people are becoming aware of Light Pollution, ARTIFICIAL Blue Light Wavelengths at NIGHTTIME and a plethora of studies by many respected & established Universities, Chronobiologists, Doctors & Institutes throughout the world.
Here in the UK, they have used the retro fit of these luminaries as an opportunity to install 5G cell phone antennas into the lights, since you need more of these than 4G - and we all know how healthy 5G is to our brains....
@Chronic Blast if we didn’t have those lights all cars would be crashing into each other and going on fire so be grateful that those people actually help cars travel
LED produce more blue light than the typical yellow light... Do you know what else produce blue light?? The moon.. what would work best is laser lights their would be less of bleeding light compare to the yellow or LED..
@@planeguy737-1 It might help prove that they have an agenda like it does for streetlights that are shut off (easy to blind and ambush people trying to flee a chemical attack if even that lucky where they also often have roadwork cones that reflect headlghts at many angles from the circular arc surface of such cones). Purple streetlights might have been set up for chemical drainage and being upwind of or on top of evac routes out of an attack, especially when considering topography. We see these news casts and have all of the wonderful commentors on such videos and no one else seems to notice what is wrong. Well lol for right now if you want to.
Brighter streetlights also increase crime. Thieves and criminals now explore more affluent areas during the night hours as residents are given the false sense of security from the brightness.
Very true. And It's not like we already had enough screens blasting retina damaging blue light at us 24/7, now when we go outside we need more damaging light!
Criminals might even know how to escape by looking at the colors while there is nothing blocking their exit because it isn't time yet (during a plandemic chemical gas containment measure)
@@xq39 yeah it’s like there’s a cone of safety right under the streetlight then as soon as you step out you get teleported to a shadow realm for the next 20 feet until you enter the next safety zone and it keeps going until you either get stabbed in the dark zone or make it home safe.
After my city have installed many LED cold white lights street lamps , it really became a nuisance. The normal lamps should never be white (always yellow) and the brightness should never be too strong. I really liked old yellow street lamps much better.
Almost everybody prefers yellow or amber lights. But the engineers don't give a damn. Afaik nobody in authority gives a damn. It's another nail in the coffin of our ecosystem.
PC Amber LED street lights. No brainer. Done correctly, it would look like it’s still HPS. Even 2700K lights (I would use them only in some parking lots), if correctly installed and fully shielded, could look like they’re incandescent lights. Right now light pollution has gone unchecked all over my hometown in Long Island, NY within the last few years and it feels as if I am the only one who cares. I don’t want us to become the poster child of how NOT to do outdoor lighting but it sure seems headed that way.
Actually, done correctly, an LED amber will be better than the HPS... not only effeciency, but now, even true color rendering. Lumican figured out how to do it, and I am hoping my city will install these in my neighborhood.
@@audreyfischerI always wondered why there aren’t any orange or amber LEDs. you’d think that the orange color would be the first thing to pop up in the city counsel representative’s minds, since there ARE color options for LEDs.
as someone who grew up with hps as opposed to lps as a kid (low pressure sodium was rarely seen in canada) this is still pretty bad just replace the lights with narrow band amber if you want that true lps feel
PC Amber LEDs are an option (Phosphor-Converted Amber LEDs) and are Not Just for Sea Turtles. We can place them anywhere & everywhere, Especially in and around residential areas.
Plot every one of them on a map and their colors once like I did on youtube and think about off-road escape routes in a chemical gas attack. The energy narrative globally supports their use, but they are purposely placed.
The post office hub behind my house just replaced their HPS lights with some bright-white LEDs and the new fixtures are tilted up at an angle and feature no blocking so now my back yard is lit up like a baseball field. I contacted the manager and he was trying to stonewall my request for adding some glare shields. He said he would pass along my complaint but he was such a d*ck on the phone acting like it was out of his control because Maintenance handles such ordering. I asked for the phone number to Maintenance and he said, “No, everything goes through me.” So what can I do??? I just moved into this house last February and put in a 25’ x 35’ garden and now I feel like 24 hours of light is going to screw everything up and ruin my passion for gardening.
Not to mention those led lights all look the same. I like the mercury lights we had through out the 90s and early 2000s. They all came in different shapes and colors
I have the same issue on my street with the same Blue LED lights. I cannot sleep in my house. I feel sick all the time, and the borough manager is not helping, giving me changing info about the ability to do something to remedy it. I called my electric company after letters and phone calls to my borough office. Penelec said there is a bulb or shade to change it to after I asked! The borough manager gave them the ok to do it and even gave me a work/order #.... said it would be done today or tomorrow. Then he sent another email today saying that now they cannot change the bulb or put a dimmer shade on it after they said they could yesterday. Liars. I may get an attorney. I have been sick since the lights went in. And I now I see 4 specialists for my new health issues which now include chronic migraine and insomnia, and fibromyalgia. It's not over for them. What they are doing is wrong. We pay taxes for these lights! We should be in control of fixing this issue! I will not stop and something will be done.
Plot them on a map and think about off-road routes in a chemical gas attack in nighttime traffic. See my videos and replicate what I did for your city.
I found this video. Last night was the first night- I went outside with the dog.. It was so bright I was seeing spots for hours, I couldn't get to sleep, there were spots that didn't go away.. When the tree loses leaves, this is going to blast my bedroom. It makes me upset and angry. This is like a weapon or something it feels like. It REALLY hurts. I can't imagine how my dog feels.
3000K is a measure of color temperature, not brightness. Brightness is measured in lumens. Color temperature refers to how yellowish or blue the light is. Still, it's good they used 3000k lighting instead of 4000k; 4000K is way too bluish to be using as street lighting and may cause insomnia in people who live near the lights.
I moved from Denver back to Illinois in late 2021 after a disastrous stint there and all of the streetlights have long been replaced with LED and my mood took a severe nosedive. The streets now look like I've inadvertently wandered into a top-secret military facility. It is so depressing and unpleasant going out for walks at night with these LED streetlights and in all honesty, I think it's worth trading away 'efficiency' and restoring the old streetlights. High-Pressure-Sodium lights are far safer than the LED lights replacing them. What the hell are engineers doing?! Do they yet understand that people HATE these lights and the ugliness they create? When I do go for major walks, I drive to neighborhoods where the old HPS lights are still dominant and the difference in my mood is almost night and day, even taking into account personal circumstances. The HPS lights create a warm and pleasant mood and the lights generally do not assault my eyes even if I stare into them, very similar to the sun just after sunrise and right before sunset. I GET the criticisms of high pressure sodium lights especially with mercury in them but in terms of 'saving energy', do we really need to turn our urban nightscapes into such an ugly, and unwelcoming place? These 'newer' lights generate painful glare that assaults my eyes, even though I'm only 40 as of this writing but I generally fear for the safety and well-being of older drivers who otherwise have few other age-related vision problems. The harsh white glare of these LED lights can damage the retina and it suppressed the production of melatonin, the substance that promotes natural sleepiness at night. I actually got rid of these 4000K lights from my house and put in 3000K or less lights and the difference in my mood has been profound. Not only are these white LED lights ugly but they create sharp contrasts between the lit and unlit areas creating areas of brightly lit and pitch-dark areas and the eyes cannot adjust well enough at a fast enough speed to accomodate the contrasts making it impossible to see in dark areas. I almost twisted my ankle on an irregular sidewalk surface (pothole) as I was trying to look away from a blindingly bright LED streetlight. I don't even want to know what kind of injuries others have sufferend from similar circumstances. This is also the same lighting that is emitted in far smaller doses from computer and iphone screens and it's what doctors tell us to avoid exposing ourselves to at least an hour before bed. However, even newer computers and iphones now have the option of changing the 'color temperature' to a warmer scheme. Yet we install 4000K streetlights on our streets, the very same light we're supposed to avoid at bedtime. I no longer sit out on my front porch since a bright LED streetlight glares in front of me. I used to do this many times in years past but no more. Once it gets dark, I'm inside or somewhere else. These current 'white' LED streetlights are extremely ugly, unwelcoming, dangerous (glare assaulting the eyes), poorly made (cheap and not built to last) and badly designed and have NO place on our urban streetscapes. These kinds of white lights are for windowless rooms in the interiors of commercial, office, and industrial buildings. This kind of light should NEVER be used in large amounts in outdoor landscapes. If anything, they need to be covered with special diffusing lenses to filter out the blue and green wavelengths so only the warmer colors can shine through and they must also be aesthetically pleasing to the eyes too. They should never be uncovered like the way they currently are. The ugliness of these lights may have a factor in creating more antisocial behavior, not only due to the ugliness of the lights but also the disruption of quality sleep in those whose windows are near these lights. Mind you, I'm not some conspiracy-minded person who buys into the bullshit notion that these are weapons being used by some big-scary-evil-government. No. I just think these lights are a badly misused technology that is still poorly understood and that the obsession with 'saving money' and 'efficiency' is creating a situation that I could see become a costly and unnecessary urban fiasco that will have to be addressed and/or reversed or replaced with lighting that is far safer and healthier than the white LED lights right now or even revert back to high-pressure sodium lights. If we must use LED, they should NEVER be higher than 2200K to 2700K or equivalent of between low-or-high-pressure-sodium lights and roughly candlelight and/or campfires. They also must be designed so the vast majority of the light is limited to roughly a 120 arc between 120 degrees (just beyond 90 degrees to the right of up) and 240 (just below 90 degrees to the left of up). Until Amber or Orange LED streetlights become affordable enough, then cities aorund the world need to keep their sodium lights for as long as possible and if a HPS light fails, just CHANGE THE DAMN LIGHT BULB Then!
they made the new lights hideous and painful to be under for a reason, it is literally about degrading human beings and taking away our dignity and quality of life. they know everybody unanimously prefers warmer colors, and they still force hideous white light on us.
Look at where they are put. Plot them on a map and think about evacuation when you only have the air in your car to breathe once. See the construction? See the gravel piles? Do exactly what I did and share on youtube like I did.
Plot them on a map and construction on a map along with fences, tree lines, and note off-road escape routes from chemical gas once. Don't forget about the train. Note where semis park. Share the map on youtube like I did and get the f out.
Being a street light enthusiasts I don’t think Xcel energy thought through this and was just rushing this project through. The reason why people are complaining that they are to bright is because the fixtures are 15000 Lumens 149W which is enough light to emit a major street and 8800 lumens 84W which is acceptable in neighborhood roads are place in as well placed in neighborhoods. So In conclusion Xcel energy was not pro efficient with this project, and instead of doing so they just threw out what ever they had an did not carefully improvise.
I think, no. I'm from Sri Lanka. They're installing white, very bright LED street lights replacing amber, dim sodium street lights. I hate LED street lights.
Exact! This is very true, if soon or in the future the comfortable and perfect orange and blue streetlights would return to every city, it would look great!
Plot them on a map too. You might be surprised if you note off-road paths, construction, tree lines, gravel piles, trashbins, the train track, etc. In chemical gas in the middle of the night to contains some variant you might be really really shocked about the ufo thing when it is a drone breaking windshield near these lights.
I would think as you do about it if I had not spent enough time outside and started to notice the pattern. If you want to survive a chemical gas attack later plot them on a map like I did and share them on youtube.
gas trap (plot all lights on a map)...along with construction, trashbins, tree lines, open grass (shortcuts around nighttime traffic that still will get jammed anyway) etc
10G internet is here California skipped a few numbers . Great for subliminal suggestions . Soon all transmission will be telepathic you will be happy and don’t know why .
Oh shut up with this 5G bullshit! These are not weapons. They are a far worse problem and are a byproduct of a loss of appreciation for aesthetics and gentleness in our society and our blind acceptance of 'harshness' for the sake of 'energy efficiency' which is one of the biggest scams ever promoted.
Gee, folks window blinds are commonly available. Shift workers' like me have to sleep in the full sun of daylight, and even with heavy blinds its still bright.

Still, it's good they used 3000k lighting instead of 4000k; 4000K is way too bluish to be using as street lighting and may cause insomnia in people who live near the lights.
Obviously they dont care. Otherwise the electric company would change them back to old lights
Plot them on a map and share them like I did to youtube.
The color temperatures are 2.000K - 3.000K LED is GOOD and 4.000 - 8.000K LED is BAD for rainy, snowy, and fog situation.
What about chemical gas? Plot them on a map like I did and share them like I did on youtube.
I moved from Denver back to Illinois in late 2021 after a disastrous stint there and all of the streetlights have long been replaced with LED and my mood took a severe nosedive. The streets now look like I've inadvertently wandered into a top-secret military facility. It is so depressing and unpleasant going out for walks at night with these LED streetlights and in all honesty, I think it's worth trading away 'efficiency' and restoring the old streetlights. High-Pressure-Sodium lights are far safer than the LED lights replacing them. What the hell are engineers doing?! Do they yet understand that people HATE these lights and the ugliness they create?
When I do go for major walks, I drive to neighborhoods where the old HPS lights are still dominant and the difference in my mood is almost night and day, even taking into account personal circumstances. The HPS lights create a warm and pleasant mood and the lights generally do not assault my eyes even if I stare into them, very similar to the sun just after sunrise and right before sunset. I GET the criticisms of high pressure sodium lights especially with mercury in them but in terms of 'saving energy', do we really need to turn our urban nightscapes into such an ugly, and unwelcoming place?
These 'newer' lights generate painful glare that assaults my eyes, even though I'm only 40 as of this writing but I generally fear for the safety and well-being of older drivers who otherwise have few other age-related vision problems. The harsh white glare of these LED lights can damage the retina and it suppressed the production of melatonin, the substance that promotes natural sleepiness at night. I actually got rid of these 4000K lights from my house and put in 3000K or less lights and the difference in my mood has been profound. Not only are these white LED lights ugly but they create sharp contrasts between the lit and unlit areas creating areas of brightly lit and pitch-dark areas and the eyes cannot adjust well enough at a fast enough speed to accomodate the contrasts making it impossible to see in dark areas. I almost twisted my ankle on an irregular sidewalk surface (pothole) as I was trying to look away from a blindingly bright LED streetlight. I don't even want to know what kind of injuries others have sufferend from similar circumstances.
This is also the same lighting that is emitted in far smaller doses from computer and iphone screens and it's what doctors tell us to avoid exposing ourselves to at least an hour before bed. However, even newer computers and iphones now have the option of changing the 'color temperature' to a warmer scheme. Yet we install 4000K streetlights on our streets, the very same light we're supposed to avoid at bedtime. I no longer sit out on my front porch since a bright LED streetlight glares in front of me. I used to do this many times in years past but no more. Once it gets dark, I'm inside or somewhere else.
These current 'white' LED streetlights are extremely ugly, unwelcoming, dangerous (glare assaulting the eyes), poorly made (cheap and not built to last) and badly designed and have NO place on our urban streetscapes. These kinds of white lights are for windowless rooms in the interiors of commercial, office, and industrial buildings. This kind of light should NEVER be used in large amounts in outdoor landscapes. If anything, they need to be covered with special diffusing lenses to filter out the blue and green wavelengths so only the warmer colors can shine through and they must also be aesthetically pleasing to the eyes too. They should never be uncovered like the way they currently are. The ugliness of these lights may have a factor in creating more antisocial behavior, not only due to the ugliness of the lights but also the disruption of quality sleep in those whose windows are near these lights.
Mind you, I'm not some conspiracy-minded person who buys into the bullshit notion that these are weapons being used by some big-scary-evil-government. No. I just think these lights are a badly misused technology that is still poorly understood and that the obsession with 'saving money' and 'efficiency' is creating a situation that I could see become a costly and unnecessary urban fiasco that will have to be addressed and/or reversed or replaced with lighting that is far safer and healthier than the white LED lights right now or even revert back to high-pressure sodium lights.
If we must use LED, they should NEVER be higher than 2200K to 2700K or equivalent of between low-or-high-pressure-sodium lights and roughly candlelight and/or campfires. They also must be designed so the vast majority of the light is limited to roughly a 120 arc between 120 degrees (just beyond 90 degrees to the right of up) and 240 (just below 90 degrees to the left of up). Until Amber or Orange LED streetlights become affordable enough, then cities aorund the world need to keep their sodium lights for as long as possible and if a HPS light fails, just CHANGE THE DAMN LIGHT BULB Then!
they made the new lights hideous and painful to be under for a reason, it is literally about degrading human beings and taking away our dignity and quality of life. they know everybody unanimously prefers warmer colors, and they still force hideous white light on us.
I wish they made it where led streetlights have to be warm white because the blue one outside my window is just too ugly
Did you know blue light is good for you? Keep staring at your phone screen LOL
Look at where they are put. Plot them on a map and think about evacuation when you only have the air in your car to breathe once. See the construction? See the gravel piles? Do exactly what I did and share on youtube like I did.
RF antennas are weapons!
days.
They kinda look creepy. Like why not just make them blood red
Plot them on a map NOW and share them on youtube like I did.
Add dimer switch purple led
Plot them on a map and construction on a map along with fences, tree lines, and note off-road escape routes from chemical gas once. Don't forget about the train. Note where semis park. Share the map on youtube like I did and get the f out.
Being a street light enthusiasts I don’t think Xcel energy thought through this and was just rushing this project through. The reason why people are complaining that they are to bright is because the fixtures are 15000 Lumens 149W which is enough light to emit a major street and 8800 lumens 84W which is acceptable in neighborhood roads are place in as well placed in neighborhoods. So In conclusion Xcel energy was not pro efficient with this project, and instead of doing so they just threw out what ever they had an did not carefully improvise.
Plot all lights on a map like I did and share it to youtube like I did.
This is the same exact argument that Coeur d’Alene is giving its city residence at the current time.
Plot them on a map like I did and share them like I did.
Think safety !!! Shine on
Is there a country without LED street Lights PLEASE TELL ME
I fear nobody has escaped this terror campaign
@@casl7266 damn
Plot them on a map before it is too late. I did and I shared my videos.
I think, no. I'm from Sri Lanka. They're installing white, very bright LED street lights replacing amber, dim sodium street lights.
I hate LED street lights.
@@casl7266 after doing some research, Belgium has quite a lot of sodium lights left
Yep, get rid of the led crap Put high pressure stadium. And Mercury vapour backup.
#BANLED #WEDONOTCONSENT
Plot them on a map and share the map like I did on UA-cam.
Exact! This is very true, if soon or in the future the comfortable and perfect orange and blue streetlights would return to every city, it would look great!
Go with a WIFI meter underneath to check what the radiation is like. You will be surprised.
It's not like we already had enough screens blasting retina damaging blue light at us 24/7, now when we go outside we need more damaging light!
Hey newsflash dumbass, all forms of light are radiation too.
Plot them on a map too. You might be surprised if you note off-road paths, construction, tree lines, gravel piles, trashbins, the train track, etc. In chemical gas in the middle of the night to contains some variant you might be really really shocked about the ufo thing when it is a drone breaking windshield near these lights.
Gvn the honest rl light
Some people are picky as fuck. Be grateful the city put brighter lights than no lights at all. So Ungrateful
I would think as you do about it if I had not spent enough time outside and started to notice the pattern. If you want to survive a chemical gas attack later plot them on a map like I did and share them on youtube.
well go install the sun in your bedroom and lets see if your happy 😂 hid is always better then led
did they tell you there 5g lights???? no they didn't. hmm why.
gas trap (plot all lights on a map)...along with construction, trashbins, tree lines, open grass (shortcuts around nighttime traffic that still will get jammed anyway) etc
Criminals complaining about the lights lol
It's 5g✅
Gas trap
10G internet is here California skipped a few numbers . Great for subliminal suggestions . Soon all transmission will be telepathic you will be happy and don’t know why .
Nope electricity is getting rare
Yeah get rid of them
its the antenas on top of the lights that are weaponised 5g
Oh shut up with this 5G bullshit! These are not weapons. They are a far worse problem and are a byproduct of a loss of appreciation for aesthetics and gentleness in our society and our blind acceptance of 'harshness' for the sake of 'energy efficiency' which is one of the biggest scams ever promoted.
Haha, government gaslights is as usual!
residents are line a pain in the ass
Plot the lights on a map
God crybabies grow up wish I had that problem
Wait till they turn on the motion sensor strobe ,and you fall down puking with vertigo . , , stay indoors at night , , do as your told ! Prisoner
Gee, folks window blinds are commonly available. Shift workers' like me have to sleep in the full sun of daylight, and even with heavy blinds its still bright.
It's not like we already had enough screens blasting retina damaging blue light at us 24/7, now when we go outside we need more damaging light!
Some of us like to go out, and have consideration for the wildlife.
No One cares, Nefarious electronics just wait an see
My LED lights here in California are not bright enough. I wish ours were bright as Denver. I got a tip, don’t look INTO the light!
Plot them on a map and share them on youtube like I did.
THEY ARE NOT BLINDING
