LED goes into utility cabinets, garage, and perhaps the kitchen. Where visual clarity matters, and where you don't generally spend a lot of time. I accept LED wins in many cases, even most. But I'm replacing everything else with halogen, to get closer to what nature wanted. I'm actually gonna stockpile because they're gonna go after them next.

Honestly the hamfisting they've pulled with the LED should be investigated.

Weed is for niggers.

I actually like LED street lamps, they keep the overworked wagies awake and make the road much easier to see. The real crime is when some fucking faggot behind you is trying to blind you because his headlights are ten times brighter than they need to be.

>>105969146 (OP)
The worst part about LED is that it does not even work. Its blinding but at the same time illuminates nothing. And hard shadows everywhere.

There's a ton of research, which I had at hand 10 years ago but not anymore. Infrared stimulates cellular regeneration, while ultraviolet harms cells. This goes from your eyes to your skin. The reason skin cancer is rising is not because of the Sun's ultraviolet light alone, but because the infrared/ultraviolet balance in the light we receive overall is out of whack.
tldr of the whole thing is that as light sources move away from resembling the Sun or fire, they start to cause problems physically and psychologically. Not surprisingly, since we're organisms who evolved in a delicate balance regarding light like many others we're messing with.

>>105969329
>The birds now sing all night because of the LED street lights.
Is this really because of LED emissions? I assumed it was just a frequency illusion.

>>105971112
Might be both. All I can tell you is this. I live in a rural area. The new LED lights went up around 2020.

I was always down a local rural street one night. A side street to a major highway. I was walking about 3 miles to my friends house. There is one street light along that street at an intersection.

I'm listening to the usual sounds at midnight as usual. The frogs are croaking and the crickets are doing their thing. I get within about 100 yards of the LED street light. They suddenly go quiet. As I get closer I hear the birds in that neighborhood singing like it's noon. I pass by the neighborhood and out the other side. About 100 yards further down the road I stop hearing the birds singing. Then about 30-50 yards further the frogs and crickets start doing their thing again.

They put one up near my house and the birds started singing all night and stopped singing loudly in the mornings. The light got broken somehow. So now there is no light at all. Now the birds no longer sing at night and they sing loudly as a group at first light like they've been doing here for the last 30+ years I've been around to hear them.

>>105970286
A single LED is shit, you need at least 4 relatively spaced to have good vision

>>105971269
>They put one up near my house and the birds started singing all night and stopped singing loudly in the mornings.
Maybe the 5G isn't killing the birds, it's the LED street lamps.

>>105971442
This, unironically. Night LEDs have caused migratory birds to steer off course at night, get confused and lost.

I hate LEDs for the exact opposite most /g/ tards do
>like the effect of fluorescent blacklight bulbs
>most LED "blacklights" are 405nm-395nm
>is extremely visable as a violet, less of a fluorescent effect
>LEDs are basically incapable of sub 400nm light, 365nm LEDs are extremely expensive and historically haven't been reliable
>365nm LEDs are readily available as tape if expensive but everything to house them would attenuate the output
I'm gonna be sad when Walmart stops stocking T8 blacklights

Only thing I hate about LED's is the shitty headlights and that's because aftermarkets and OEM's put it at like 200lumens or whatever over the 50-100lumens of Halogen.

Not getting any hits, are you sure you're not simply retarded?

any recommendations on warm led light tubes t8 g13?
we had warm 2700k fluorescent tubes but those got fucked and we would like to get new ones that doesn't fuckup our vision and shit
we got a 4000k one, as it was the warmest i could get and is not good, it feels bad, i bet it has a huge blue spike

Swapping my lamps LED bulb to an Edison and it's peak comfy

LEDs can be fantastic, it's just cheap shitty LEDs that suck. An LED that actually is configured to not have huge spikes in the spectrum can be great, it's just way cheaper not to do that.

>>105974697

Yes, they want us dead.

can you anon link some lightbulb autist that do proper analysis of the bulbs to know which ones are not cancerlicious?

>>105976131

you got that wrong anon, that is low pressure

>>105976131
The point is a properly tuned LED bulb can mimic whatever the fuck you want. You just need an array of LEDs each configured to emit a certain wavelength of the spectrum to fit whatever it is you're trying to imitate.

You're just upset no manufacturer has bothered to try and mimic HPS bulbs (or at least not as a widely available product for consumers).

It has nothing to do with LEDs technical capabilities though.

There's nothing wrong with LEDs themselves, but the retards installing them use daylight color temperatures for some insane reason.

If the opposite happened youd complain about how the orange lights put a fake yellow filter on everything and how the buzzing is keeping wild life awake and causing migranes while ked lights a perfectly silent and show the world under natural colors as god intended.

Just more nostalgia fagging.

You just miss your youth, admit it.

I too was alive then and had been for some time. I miss nothing about the era except being young.

Nature does not "want", it merely exists and evolves.

>>105976101
There's also some cheap led bulbs that switch at mains frequency, and you can see a strobe effect when moving quickly. Some cars even have that issue and it looks like shit.
Pic related is a G4 led I had to retrofit to my nightstand light because no one seems to sell G4 halogens near me, so I'm waiting for a batch to come by mail.

>>105983048
This is one if those weird things that don't bother me but I can 100% point it out everytime I see it.
Can even see it in high pressure sodium and metal halide bulbs but only up close.
