good morning saar.

The reason they are better is because if you change into lighter or darker streets, lots, or have oncoming lights they provide quicker adjustment to environment. They also don't freeze over like the other LED bright lights do in winter.
>>
>>109877358
LOL, contrarian looking for attention because he's lonely projects his contrarianism onto everyone else. Classic textbook case.

Go look for them. Try and find an old street that still has them. You'll soon understand.

I see that's how it is...

When they replaced the streetlights outside my house with these bright led abominations I finally understood the meaning of denpa.
It's like I'm drowning in an electric white ocean, and no matter how much I try to close the blinds or use thicket curtains always some of it finds a way of seeping in. Constantly watching, not a single thing you do is beyond the electric angels sitting on the posts by my windows.

Yes, because a light source that is blinding, destroying your night vision, yet some how illuminating nothing is vastly superior, Also hard shadows everywhere and areas of pitch black between the lights. That is how street lights should be.

>>109877358
Use case for street lights?

we need RGB street lamps.

How the fuck are "no rest allowed" led lights any less soul draining than sodium lamps?
>>
>>109879749
Except without lighting there is a high probability you're actually fucking a man and therefore ghey.

>>109877358
You guys should read the essay titled In Praise of Shadows, which explores the virtues of low brightness environments
>>
>>109877358
Most of the light output is not used, because most of the time, no one is there to benefit. In this sense, nightly illumination is a form of environmental pollution (and a waste of energy, but _possibly_ negligible). Monochromatic light is easier to ignore or filter out. This is relevant, for example, for astronomers.

There used to be "sodium white". I got one off ebay and ran it on a regular HPS ballast. It looks yellow compared to late-day sunlight, but in the dark it just looks like comfy incandescent light.
>>
Aesthetics aside, I much prefer the intermittent dimming sodium lamps do when they fail as opposed to the strobing bullshit the chinesium LED replacements do when their drivers start to fail.

The only creatures who enjoy and prefer dimly lit environs are insects, mold, etc. Furthermore, all evil and immoral deeds take place in dim, shadowy places.

Bright, well lit places are a beacon of openness and honesty and cleanliness.

The absolute state of sodiumfags.

I can't see anything in the shadows when LED lights are used. With sodium lights I can see more detail in the shadows. Usecase? Cute girls hang out in the shadows.

>>109881258
Are those "cuts girls" with us in the shadows right now?

Exactly. I thought Anon was posting in support of sodium lights before I finished reading his post. This brought me nostalgia to a time when I had to go to middle school early for an event I was a part of, and it was so early that these lights were on and the streets were dead quiet. Not to mention how they break the gray monotony of the streets when it's raining.

Man, LEDfags are soulless.

These are bot posts. Any real human likes the gentle glow of sodium lights. The brutal blue light of LEDs terrible. Both animals and people don't function as well when they swap out the lamps for the new hell.

Time to post my lamp again

coing to college, listening to late 00s dark dubstep
yeah, it was a vibe
have some low pressure sodium OC from 2012
>>
>>109877358
what about orange LEDs?
my town replaced the sodium lights with orange LED lights and it looks just about the same
but the streetlights also didn't illuminate like half the street like in these pics
>>
>>109880609
sodium lamps are very narrow spectrum. which is exactly what LEDs are (without phosphor coating). you can literally get the same exact vibe from a LED light.
>>
>>109880609
it's not comfy at all, it's weird and disgusting to walk under sodium lights

might look comfy if you just drive by them with a car but you don't want to be under them
>>
>>109885853
As opposed to leds?
Sometimes it feels like there's an ocean of sterile fake light out there, it's ever present, always watching, every single movement. You see them one after the other, endlessly going into the distance. Panopticons that inquire into your every being, always seen, never alone. Always awake, never rest.
No matter how much you close your blinds, how thick the curtains you get are. The electric ocean seeps through, dripping, photon by photon, suffocating you under the pressure of an evergrowing power grid. Black wires entangling you like vines, white lights highlighting every pore of your soul. Filling your lungs with sharp static mold.

I was drowning, and you were drowning, and yet the light just kept watching.

The middle class neighborhoods near me still have sodium lights. Nightwalks here are pure kino.
I will retake this shot next winter.

It's all merry and dandy until the arachnid comes down for her web and bites you on your penir. Preemptive action is the best policy.
