Low pressure sodium, yes. As that is very narrow spectrum. I'm surprised
any domestic light made much difference. Except, of course CFL, claiming
to be much brighter than they were. So if she substituted a claimed 60
watt equivalent, it was likely a lot dimmer.


It could have been that, but she specifically said it was too yellow.
