I'd be more interested in how they will do in foul weather. I know when I was living in the Yooper, all the street lights on campus and in town were yellow. Very yellow. It really gave the entire place an eerie glow; especially in snow storms at night.
I mean snowy or stormy conditions, not necessarily temps.
raleigh nc, thats where i am...well about 35 miles south. i have heard nothing about thisYep, we've known about this for quite awhile now. I almost posted the link to the original articles awhile back, but didn't think it was that newsworthy!
There have been some "community meetings" and also have them installed in a couple neighborhoods for comments from the residents.
I suppose you're all going to make me go out & find them now & take pics or something... :nana:.
Here's the recent press release from our Mayor...We're a "Led City" or something or other as awarded by the folks at Cree or someone along with:
Raleigh, NC; Toronto, Ontario; Ann Arbor, MI; Austin, TX; Tianjin, China; Torraca, Italy.
The fixtures are from BetaLED. We're all so used to the pinkish/orange tints of mercury vapor/HID lights...I look forward to proper color rendition with the white LEDs!
What else can I say? :thinking: Yeah, it's ALL my fault!
