They're failing LED lamps. They aren't supposed to be that color.
- joecool1029 4y agoTo add more to this, the LEDs rely on phosphors to get white or amber light off. It's one company that had defective phosphors and sold them all around the country. I spotted some of them failing around Scranton, PA.

- jacobolus 4y agoEven the properly functioning "warm white" LED streetlamps are a fucking disaster. They are way too blue, way too bright, spaced too far apart, placed too high up in the air, and not diffused adequately. Orange sodium lamps are so, so, so much better in every way.
