We are slowly making some progress, new streetlights are generally shrouded better than they were in the past. But then LED lights tend to be harsh, towards the blue end of the spectrum. I'd like to see shorter lights with warmer color temperature, at least.
There is a section of I-5 between Portland and Seattle, perhaps a couple miles long, that has blue streetlights. Like, really blue, not just blue-ish white. It's like driving under a blacklight. The Internet tells me this is the result of a manufacturing defect and the effect is not intentional. I hope they replace them soon, they're kinda distracting when you're driving.
- Nifty3929 4y agoI think it would be better to understand more clearly what light sources are contributing to keep things focused on the more substantial contributors. Is it streetlights? Indoor home lighting? Landscape lighting? I really don't know, but I think it's important to look at. How is it different at 9pm vs 2am?
