Hi Roman this is a great issue. Where I live, the walking paths are so bright at night with large and many LED lamp posts that you basically can’t walk on these paths at night and have to go on the streets where the smaller and less dense street lights are easier to tolerate. To challenge the city office I’d need to know what kind/make of light detector to get and how to measure the lights (angle and distance from them) and what the readings mean. If you know a source to reference or if you think you might make a post on this would greatly appreciate it.
I've been wearing those blue light blocking glasses when I drive at night becuase it seems like more and more cars have the bright LED headlights that make it difficult to see. The blue light blocking glasses make them look yellow instead of white/blue.
Hi Michael, thanks for your comment. Yes try those glasses around Christmas time, all those crazy bright xmas lights, that used to be mellow, now look like the mellow ones we had in the 90s.
Seems to me the public would have to become very educated on a topic that's now considered fringe, and that the amount of money threatened by a shift away from currently-profitable LED lights is considerable.
Hi Owner, great point. That's why I do what I do, it all starts with informing people. However when I think municipalities see how much money they could lose from lawsuits and accidents, they'll want to make the shift. Not to mention the magnetic lights last twice as long as LEDs and are way more efficient, which leads to a massive savings.
hey, speaking of Nikola Tesla lighting apparatus, I need to get out a "dead" modern planned obsolescence version of his wireless fluorescent bulb and see how close it has to be to one of those 5g assemblies on light poles in town to light up.
just fyi aside from minor changes, the big difference between Tesla fluorescents and modern ones is the electrode at either end of the tube.
Tesla's had solid electrodes that would basically never burn out. you had to break the bulb physically or deny it access to a high voltage power supply to keep it from working.
current "keep buying more of me" designs have a short coil wound with very small diameter wire at each end, allowing a lower ballast transformer voltage than Tesla's need but requiring additional ignition circuitry and causing burnout when the thin wire electrodes degrade from from use.
for anyone skeptical that fluorescents still work wirelessly until physically compromised and are basically designed to burn out in standard household fixtures...
if you're still open minded enough for easy experimental verification using any common plasma globe, any currently available working OR burned out fluorescent bulbs (including the incandescent bulb replacements) should still work as wireless Tesla style fluorescents when brought near the globe. touching an electrode to the globe or holding an electrode will make it brighter. (//edit: I don't advise doing both of those brightening techniques at the same time, just in case. a penny can pass enough power through plasma globe glass to cause a minor burn)
a static spark from shoes on carpet will also flash a "dead" fluorescent.
I've read that they'll light underneath the big metal tower electrical overhead transmission lines too.
I would've proposed a universal ballast for making the bulbs lifetime years ago, but I don't wanna get Stanley Meyered by the cabal.
anybody who thinks they can get away with producing and selling it is welcome to patent the idea and I wish them well. I do not give shady government agents permission to patent it and cover it up, but I've got no say in that.
Ray, it's great you have that awareness. It's a laser light show out there at night, and not in a good way. I often feel like an old lady when I tell people "I'd rather not drive at night." I always keep a spare pair of red glasses in the car just for that reason. You can get cheap ones for about $20, UVEX brand.
FYI, my wife's tinnitus went away immediately as soon as I turned on a Shuman wave generator.
Well, not quite; depending what's on the air. It helps during the day, but the neighbor's Wi-Fi (he lives about 25 yards away) always causes the symptom to her. Frequently, she wakes up during the night and cannot sleep. It happens to me, too, but not so frequently, and I've had tinnitus for 42 years, so I can't hear the difference. The situation certainly worsened with the new "smart" water meter whose installation was enforced by the sheriff:
BTW I've picked up a few pkgs of MADE IN USA Sylvania Incandescent bulbs at the thrift. 1st time 12 pkgs of 2 bulbs ea. for .99pc and later I got 12 bulbs for 2.97 total

Are there a lot of LED streetlights by you?
Yes. I hate ‘em. Stab me in the eye,. I have to wear a cap with a bill to take a walk at night.

I did notice that I drive safer with my dark glasses on at night. I never wear them otherwise.

My "awareness" didn't take much, just looking into the headlights on the highway. :)
I have my own glasses.

Photobiology! And don't tell me they didn't think of the detrimental sleep effects!! "we gotta pill for that"!!
I literally will plan my life around NOT driving at night blu-blockers or not!
Thanks for the efforts!

WOOHOO!!
