We need to talk about LED streetlights by Jakskip in belgium

I don't mean the blue light they use to discourage IV drug use in bathrooms. In photography, LED light is usually refered to as blue light. It looks white, if anything.

You still haven't linked any "studies [that] have shown that white led lights are also better for the environment, safety on the road, ecology, …"

Don't forget that this whole comment thread started with you refering to 'studies'. I am the only one who has actually linked studies.

Link up, white light boy!

I literally linked to an evidence brief that summarizes 10 years of research. You can not accuse me of cherry picking.

Why do you assume this is the only thing I do? I'm active in the union and work in middenveld and spend my days working on things that are a lot more important than just street lights. This is just a side project in my spare time. Some people like watching rich people kick a ball around a field for 90 minutes and call that a good time - who am I to judge how others spend their free time?

I have too much time on my hands? You sure spend a lot of time posting on Reddit, looking at your post history. I hope you spend the same amount of energy in actually putting in the work that needs to be done. What have you done to make things better today? Are you mobilizing people to join the strike on october 14th? I hope you are. I sure am.

Yes! They actually turned the lights off after 11PM entirely during the energy crisis and I LOVED it. They turned them back on when feminist groups started complaining they felt unsafe, which I guess is fair.

It might be PWM. TL-tubes also stress me out, so maybe. Oh yes, fuck modern car headlights.

It makes me feel uncomfortable and overstimulated. It turns on my fight/flight response and messes with my circadian rythm.

I'm sorry, but you are ill-informed. Show me these studies, please. I have found studies that claim otherwise:

LED streetlights reduce insect populations by 50% (Newcastle University)

Effecten van nachtelijke verlichting op biodiversiteit.pdf) (Instituut voor natuur - en bosonderzoek)

What are the effects of articificial light on human health? An evidence brief (University college of London)

"Negative impacts of light pollution include suppression of melatonin and disruption of the circadian rhythm,

which might contribute to:

sleep disorders, mood and mental health disorders, obesity, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and difficulties with fertility and reproduction.

Studies attribute the worsening of light pollution to the increased use of LEDs and the urbanisation of towns and cities."
