My only gripe with amber lights is that they make me sleepy easily.
Feature not a bug Simply existing in a city should not compel you or other creatures to stay awake If a person wants to stay awake at night then they can take that upon themselves
The article would be a lot shorter if it were as easy as individuals taking on their own citywide lighting choice and perspective. Signed as someone who now lives in a much, much smaller "city" than before :).
I love the concept, but not sure how we can convince everyone to follow.
- The circadian rhythms of birds and nocturnal creatures are less severely affected
- Amber lights produce less insomnia
- The dumb streetlight across the street doesn't blind me from my bedroom window
The safety argument for street lighting makes me sad. I'd prefer if people just used their phone torches at night. I used to cycle home in pitch black, watching the stars. Never had any incidents, others would notice me or I them before anything happened
I was staying on the main page waiting for something to happen, and then I realize I should scroll down! I love the concept, but not sure how we can convince everyone to follow.
Sodium lights were acutally kind of nice because they're mildly filterable with dinodymium glass.
> Too much light ... makes us less safe by creating harsh shadows and giving criminals a place to hide. LMAO
I wish they made lights monochromatic in one R, one G, one B wavelength, that way they'd be easier to filter out in astrophotography. Sodium lights were acutally kind of nice because they're mildly filterable with dinodymium glass.
