So, just finished reading an article on WaPo about fireflies/lightening bugs and got me thinking further… Car headlights suck. They mess up our night vision when we pass another dickhead running white/blue lights. We mess up the habit(at) of many animals/bugs. So why not red lights? My hiking/camping headlamp has a red light option, which is the only function I use, and I can see fine. Why the FUCK do we still have these ungodly bright white/blue lights?
Just read the WaPo article before posting. The article didn’t specify which type of light sources cause the issue. Is the car headlights different today compared to decades prior? If we can switch bulbs to the older ones, what would it take?
Is it the strobe light effect of the LED light source or simply the color white/blue itself? need more information.
