LED it's more power efficiencient . However, there are LED light bulbs that have some kind of filter that makes it more ambient and astronomy friendly. Normal white LEDs are a nightmare for astronomy, because his light spectrum it's hard to block with any kind of "anti light pollution" filters.

  Is there any correlation between wealthy districts and poor districts in terms of type of light used? I feel like everyone would want to accomodate the rich areas and make sure they can see the night sky and sleep and not have the unpleasent "poor" flurorescent/led "cost-savings" light

  Its basically prison light, I would only ever use it to wake up in the morning. Anybody who seriously uses it to save money in a frequented space or in place of proper soothing ambient light is a bit off in my view. It makes me unhappy and feel beyond agitated whenever I am compelled to be around it.

  2800k LEDs are not filtered white light afaik. A bit of background for those who may not be aware, white LEDs are UV LEDs with a white light emitting phosphor. I suspect 2800 K LEDs are a UV LED with a 2800 K light-emitting phosphor.

      You might be thinking of sodium vapor lights

        Yes! Why doesn't everyone just use these? Where there's astronomical concerns or people agree its just a nice and worthwhile end to be able to see the night sky, maybe use the low-pressure sodium but yeah. Edit: I wonder what gets used in "rich" places in contrast to "poor" places. I feel like rich people get the night sky and poor people get headaches and insomnia. So sick of this shit
