LED streetlights
The LED streetlights fitted here appear to be warm white. Anyone else compared them to their own lights? Daylight white is much better.

LED streetlights
I don't know about that but the weird thing is that although I'm blind
insofar as I cannot tell i'm seeing light or not, some forms of lighting give me a headache and I still get sore eyes in the sun or snow or on water with sun glints. I think the worst kind of streetlights were those slightly blue mercury ones. Lots of light but you apparently could not see much with it.

LED streetlights
Not too sure what isgoing onaround here,but people tell me some in the same
street all look different to each other as if they are all slightly different in output. Maybe the council bought a job lot on Ebay?

I've only found one that lasts - the ones that are far apart in fake fluorescent tubes, they only get to body temperature. -- It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to the wall. |

Mine all look the same, but then my council likes to waste money.

That's odd that you can get a headache from light, it suggests a signal is going to your brain, or it would just be your eyes that hurt. What form of blindness do you have? Do you know where the fault lies?
Not sure what you mean by blue mercury, is that what I used to se around motorway junctions? They made the place quite well lit.

Its not always that obvious where the pain is coming from when the sources are so close. What form of blindness do you have? Do you know where the fault lies?
