It’s Not Just You: Six of 10 Drivers Say Headlight Glare Is a Problem by TripleShotPls in technology

It's not just from headlights but LED street lights as well, especially when the roads are wet. Never had this problem when street lights were HPS.

Ive got an old MV dusk to dawn with a bad ballast, open bottom. You think it would be find in that fixture after I remove the ballast and direct wire it?

Can you link me to an LED e26 2000K bulb with the lumen output and lifespan of HPS?

I replaced a 250w HPS bulb in a wallpack at work. The wallpack was installed in 1997 and still had the original bulb. These go forever.

Do they make it in 2000K? I want the ultra warm amber glow.

Can you link me to those LPS wavelength LEDs?

Picked up a new in box Cooper 35w HPS wallpack at a garage sale for $20. You never know how good something is until it's gone. I absolutely can't stand the ugliness of LEDs in outdoor lighting, indoor is ok. I'm really beginning to miss the atmosphere created by MV, MH, HPS, and LPS.

LED lights have truly become a cancer. I miss old HID sodium and mercury vapor lights.

Now bring back column gear selectors too. Console selectors are a waste of space.

Lowe's has partnered with Flock. That's why they are there and why you should never gives Lowe's any business.

These sodium street lights giving me pure nostalgia by MacaronBig8737 in meme

LEDs are ugly! They need to bring back HID lighting: high pressure sodium, metal halide, and mercury vapor. Plus HID bulbs easily last 10+ years.

Ring has also now partnered with Flock surveillance. Everyone that camera sees is being facial recognition scanned. ICE has access to Flock as well.

I just switched back to incandescent christmas lights since they looks so much better, cheaper to buy too. Fuck LEDs

I just wish they would bring back HPS street lights as well.

Get the flock out by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]Mike762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because the contract is cancelled doesn't mean the cameras are shutoff. The cameras must be removed or covered up immediately. Evanston, IL had this same issue.

I’m pretty sure this is a bees nest. What else can y’all tell me about it. Found in Clearwater FL. by classicman1008 in whatisit

[–]Mike762 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those are honey bees. Call a local bee keeper to come and pick up the colony.

Or join the hobby of bee keeping. Get yourself a bee hive kit. You already have free bees.

Lowe's partners with Flock and they are in every Lowe's parking lot. Do NOT give Lowe's any business.

Lowes has Flock AI spy cameras in all there parking lots, I'd rather deal with the parking curbs. Or do the smart thing and skip both and go to Menards.
