  • Most standard street lighting comes in 4000K for some reason. It’s completely dumb. I’ve spoken to Melbourne City council about this many times but there’s a perception (an incorrect one) that 4000K feels ‘safer’.

    We should all be actually using PC Amber LED chips but noooooo… Too ‘expensive’.

    Also all LEDs should have lens optics and move away from reflectors to get a wide range of beam angles to prevent glare and other bad stuff that comes with using LEDs.

    And we should also be doing proper disposal of LEDs once they die because they’re essentially little computers.

    … Ok, rant over.
