"This lamp makes you blind, permanently" *Shoots death ray to the eye "Pretty cool, right?"

“prEtTy CoOl RiGhT?” As he ignites the black hellfire of the salt of damnation casually

"This lamp teleports you to Mexico"

These lamps where used in streetlights a lot, from the 70s and onwards. Low pressure sodium lamps are monochromatic, the particular one in the video is a 135W SOX. These SOX lamps emits 2 wavelengths 589.9nm and 589.0nm known as the sodium d line.

Finally, I've found it... Hollywood "Mexico" Lighting

"Pretty cool, right" Me: "No!" *Starts to burn something* Me: "Cool!"

"I never knew I was colorblind" *Sees in banana*

Movies when they show a scene of the Mexico dessert

There’s a huge interactive art instillation called “otherworld” that has a room where everything is lit with this light. it feels like you’re in an old-timey cartoon!

That’s actually really cool, imagine a puzzle room where you’re told to pick the color red, but this light turns on.

This is actually exactly what the colorblindness in my right eye looks like, it’s like everything has a yellow Snapchat filter over it

This lamp turns you into a Simpson character

I’d love to have this and just ask people “what color is this?” and then when they say a color I’ll say “nah it’s this color bro, you should go get your eyes checked.”

Can you imagine if he just said "This lamp makes you colourblind, bye!" And everyone just became colourblind.

I feel like at some point, this man will say "this atomic bomb can wipe out an entire continent. pretty cool right?"

"pretty cool right?" *Ameterasu*

"Pretty cool, right?" *starts a fire*

As someone who is severely colorblind this really fascinated me in the fact that it makes it easier to discern the blues and purples when it is turned off

why did i think he was about to be black when he turned the light on himself

Jokes on you, I’m already colorblind

Somebody ought to get two monochromatic lamps with opposite hues. That way they'd look like they'd sum to white, but since it's only two wavelengths, you'd still have partial colorblindness

things i hear as a colorblind person every time i tell someone: "can you tell what color shirt am i wearing?" "what color are these markers?"

Ayoo bro every time I see you in my shorts I'm constantly checking my surroundings cuz you emit such chad killer vibes. The videos are pretty cool tho keep it up

A very close effect will occur from the lamp in a photography dark room.

In one of the photolithography labs I worked in, it had yellow light so it wouldn't mess up the masks. I had my favorite roll of light green marking tape that I would use for everything. One day I took it into the next room - and it turns out it was actually light blue.

Bring back the “pretty cool, right?” At the end of every short. It’s iconic.

Idk why I’m so into these clips 😭

I have a lamp that brights up like that, It’s called Thorn Beta 5 which is a SOX street lamp which is used in the UK, Ireland and Canada.

literally nobody is talking about how much this guy looks like a goddamn vampire

He’s got a face perfect for horror / psychological thriller films

For those wondering. This lamp is a Low Pressure Sodium lamp or LPS for short. Although also known as SOX lamps. They were widely used for street lighting too until contractors started fitting LEDs.

I wanna see someone do one of those videos about doing makeup under a colored light but with this light.

“This lamp makes you colorblind, *temporarily*” *me who is color blind:* *Looks into the light “OMG I CAN SEE COLORS AGAIN”

"Jesse! we need these lights for our show!" "you sure mistah white?" "JESSE! WE NEED THESE LIGHTS FOR OUR SHOW!"

I see your grow has shifted to the bloom cycle. :D

BREAKING BAD FILTER💀

This is also why the French have been using selective yellow fog lights on their cars for a long time. Fog and rain is technically blue. Yellow lights don't light up the fog in front of you. Modern LED and xenon/HID lamps emit lots of blue light so they reflect the rain ad fog which blinds you more than it helps you. It doesn't matter how many thousands of lumens that are written on the packaging, the bluish light does blind you at night. Yellow tinted lights don't do this, however any person with a blue or green coat will become pitch black so yellow lights should be used with caution as well. It is the other way around with many modern LED lights: a deer with brown fur or a person with a red coat becomes barely visible under some medium quality led lights. Some LEDs are good though, and some are bad. Price (of car) makes no difference, it seems to be very random which cars have good lights and which ones don't. And it is measurable but nobody does it because nobody knows why or what the numbers mean. People only care about the lumens, the higher number the better you know. Halogen lights are somewhere in the middle, a good middle ground. This is one of the reasons why I love my old Suzuki. Halogen lights are a lot better than modern lights for general winter driving, unless you have multiple different types of lights that you know how and when to switch between.

At my elementary school we had these kind of lights in our gym. Every time gym ended and we walked out it felt like being hit with a flash bang.

"Omg, is this what yellow people see all the time?"

Seriously, with that light you look like some sort of vampire or one of the Maneskin

As someone who's colorblind, this is basically a slight example of what it's like, I just don't have it that bad thankfully. Most people just assume "oh so you can't see colors" and trying to explain that it doesn't work that way to them is a pain.

The shirt he was wearing just gave off a “blue shirt” vibe

he just entered Hollywood Mexico

Dude the fire was epic please do a long format on this light

This lamp makes everything look like it’s in a movie scene in Mexico

I'd find it hillarious if he went "This lamp makes you colourblind" and the short just ends. The panic would be pure chaotic entertainment

I miss your videos, 👍live it up man!

“ this lamp makes you colorblind” me already being color blind rip

Why is Bart Simpson teaching me science

Nah i was not ready for yellow styropyro

I used to be so confused about this in the parking lot of walmart as a child lol

I love low pressure sodium lamps, thank you for showing one. :)

This lamp is called a Low Pressure Sodium lamp. Its the Most efficient light source known to man. Its pretty much the older sister of the High Pressure Sodium lights you see on Street Lights. High Pressure Sodium actually allows you to see some color since it has a CRI of ~21. To sum up what CRI is, it is pretty much a measurement of how well a light source can show color. Low Pressure Sodium has a CRI rating of 0, meaning it’s purely Monochromatic. The Sun, for example, has a CRI of 100 and shows all color Perfectly, Incandescent lamps have a CRI of 99.

*turns normal light back on* Styropyro: *in blackface*

This is a low pressure sodium lamp. It makes everything yellow or monochromatic

"This lamp makes you colorblind" **turns on breaking bad desert theme**

I was in Hawaii “the big island” and the street lights are all single wave length yellow. LED. Everyone looks jaundice under them. It’s because of the observatory up on the mountain. It makes it easy to filter out the light pollution.

A Rubiks cube is the best example I've seen with this demonstration. Since you know there are multiple colors on it but you'll only be able to slightly make out shades.

Wow you found the Breaking Bad lights.

I once saw a flower on the street that looked like it was a perfect black colour. It was illuminated only by a sodium street lamp. Took a picture with and without flash. In the picture with flash it became clear that it was actually a beautiful pink! It was reflecting none of the light from the lamp. Lovely effect.

"this lamp makes you colour blind!" dumbledore said quietly

Styro looks like he's doing the trollface at the end

The "I like tortles" kid grew up

This would be amazing in theme parks if they'd want to make an environment look like a sepia toned black and white film

When I was working in an indoor weed grow, after a while of standing under the 1000w HPS lights when I would step outside everything would be a shade of blue for a few minutes.

If "It's always Sunny in Philadelphia" they need a flashback for Dennis, hire this man!

Should've printed one of those colorblindness tests to show us.

This is probably what it was like to be van gogh

street lights in the UK use this particular colour :L Edit: The idea is that they don't affect your nightvision or something? I could be chatting shite though.

Jokes on you, I was color blind before this.

Poster: has just discovered pure color bulbs.

If I was a CEO for some generic company I would light my office with just that light and have no windows then I would hire a new intern and ask them to bring me the red pens from my desk and just let them panic

My school has those around the observatory to not screw up their equipment. I believe they just tune out the wavelength that this light emits and it greatly reduces the light pollution that they have to deal with even in the middle of a city

Finally now I understand why my colorblindness levels up under yellow lights

"This lamp makes you forget about stuff you just saw" ✨️ "Now, you never see me and all these laser stuff. Im just like other strangers you meet everyday"

When the sodium street lights in our neighborhood were replaced with white LED, everything went from black and white to full color (just like it was daytime) and felt weird for the first few nights😄

"I know you can see the yellow light." "But can you tell what color shirt im wearing?" *vsauce music kicks in*

"Okay Billy which cable should I cut to stop the bomb.. " "The red one"

Someone who is already colorblind: Still the same

Me, who is already colourblind: _I'm four parallel universes ahead of you_

Man’s been in that light for too long. His eyes are freaking out!

I have no such weakness, as I'm already colorblind

U really shold go in to the movie biz kid ohh the lite and ur Facial structure is amazing!!

i want him to do the troll face, as good as he can, he already got the perfect face shape for it he just has to embrace it

Neopixels can have a color blinding effect. If you have some, try lighting a room with them in a blue or green color and trying to guess the color of skittles in your hand.

The single scene of him staring into the camera sent me

I Learn way to much off everyone of ur videos ...LMAO Great video

Colourblind people : I don't see any difference anyways

"This lamp makes you colorblind, temporarily." My video quality: *Baby i'm not even here, i'm an illusion*

"you know you can't see anything in the dark"

"This lamp makes you colorblind. Pretty cooool, riiiiight? 😀"

Our teacher installed lamp covers to make em yellow and made us do art, it came out looking amazing

Red and green are really poor choices for the two important colors on a stoplight considering they're the two colors most colorblind people can't tell apart.

😂 Kevin, After Too Much Home Alone! I Adore Your Content, Keep Producing Them!

Bro looks like a bitmoji

*Throws a flashbang on your face* *Making you temporarily blind with agony* *Pretty Cool Right*

This just makes your room look like the inside of an Klingon warship.

Me, a colorblind person: “I don’t know man, seems normal to me.”

I think this is a great use of the lamp to show how other people view the world

"This lamp makes you color blind, temporarily." Me: "Says who?"
