>>8002190I live in a place that's not a big town or city where the streetlights get turned off at midnight, and on again an hour before dawn, and it gets dark as fuck such that the criminal fraternity like to roam freely, and the corrupt unelected bureaucrats around here won't just leave the sodding lights on to deter the scum criminals because it might affect the criminals human rights or some other bullshit woke excuse
so it's not rocket science, LED's last longer, unless you keep turning them on and off every few hours, ergo, just turn the damned LED's on at dusk, and off again at dawn, and they'll not only deter the criminals, but the LED's will last way longer, thus making them actually cost effective and energy efficient enough to make them a worthwhile replacement for the old sodium lamps
though I'd still prefer the old sodium lamps, so maybe what they could do is apply a sodium lamp colored lighting gel to the glass cover of the LED streetlight, that way you get the comfy warm glow and you don't get blinded by the ultra bright LED's.
