There's three near my house that are burnt out and another that's flickering like mad.
Apparently the new-new LEDs are better.

In case anyone is interested, the winter peak now lags behind the summer peak. The last big usage in winter was 2013.

Which is actually a decent enough reason to invest a little bit in solar, considering its the air conditioning on the hottest sunniest days that are now yearly peak. Then people won't feel guilty about cranking the air on the hottest day of the year.

And they are SO much brighter than the old lights. It was actually pretty messed up.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Are these the ones on stoney trail? Bunch are blue now and I'm confident the Sodium Vapor lights that used to be used were awesome and rarely burnt out.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Also sodium vapor bulbs are pretty energy efficient thus why farmers used them for their yards.

There's a steady span of purple ones near Seaton that look like a shit Civic with a fart can.
lol that was three years ago. They were in the neighbourhood. Took the city about two years to fix them - because cOvId probably.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I just honestly think we're all getting sold on led bulbs being better but they're not. Nothing wrong with the old glass and filament type. The plastic used in led is tougher on environment and I replace more led bulbs in my life compared to the old filament ones.

It's like that time that we all got together to prevent the tides from happening. Don't you remember that? We just tried hard, suffered mildly and then it happened! This is the same. You just gotta sort your garbage for 1.25hr/week and suffer with paper straws. Then you can be certain that your chicken-shit, meaningless existence has mystically contributed to the reduction in temperature of... A... Fucking PLANET.
I will say I've enjoyed the sky not being turned a heinous babyshit brown at night when it snows now.
Yeah I like the LEDs for that reason. The orange light from the old streetlights was gross. A condo near me still has orange lights and it looks terrible. Especially now the streets have the better looking LEDs.

Less hot spots and less ocular workout. You hate working out, right? Your eyes are getting one with led street lights.
One early morning last week, much of NW Stoney trail had no street lights on at all. It was glorious.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Orange is not better visually, it was simply that it was the highest efficiency bulb at the time. That and they are "rough service" meaning that they can survive inside a shaking lamp pole next to constant rumble of traffic.
Some light tech is fragile, some does really bad in hot or cold weather. LED has matured to the point where it can survive almost any conditions.

I love how the former school zone by me allows the street lights to be out for several weeks now, I guess it being a playground zone until 9PM is safe enough. The sound of children bouncing off my hood is angelic.
The light on my street were out for 3-4 months before they finally fixed them. I am guessing one burnt out and the knocked out a series connection for the rest to go down. CoC must be short on supervisors.

Last time I was in Calgary it was night time and I was wondering why so many streetlights were straight purple.
