@@Mrfitrider1 Mr smart-ass English is not his mother language, same for me, my first language is Arabic, let's say he speaks Chinese, you can't speak Chinese, so stop making fun of others kid

Interesting, thanks for pointing that out. Good to know.

I can vouch for this. This past winter we had a little bit of snow in northern AL and it quickly turned to sluh then ice. In my jeep with the bright white LED definitely seen the sheets of ice on the road glaring back

Your the real MVP 💪💪

Thank You 😊

You the man

Bless you

@@JoseOrtiz_1416 "Your" really?

@@kchilites Solid content. You guys would crush it with this type of informative content. I mean crush it as in social media beating competitors such as baja designs and such.

Space Monkey. As a tourist in France many years ago, I got accustomed to the yellow head lights. A bit soft to start with but soon got accustomed to them. After a few weeks I barely bothered that they were yellow. On my return to white light society, WOW, I felt blinded, so to speak, and it took a lot longer to get reaccustomed to the white light vision that it took to become acclimatized to the yellow ones. If I had any say, and I don't, I would encourage the adoption of yellow lighting. Notice that a lot of street lighting is yellow, I wonder why?

I thought they had reluctantly abandoned the amber (selective yellow) lights to comport with the other EU countries. Shame, as I thought it was easier on the eyes. I’ve put amber lights on my motorcycles here in the US both for dust, recognition, and to pretend I’m driving a Matra down the Mulsanne Straight.

@@otziizto4085 I agree with you, and thanks for contributing your real-life experience. I'm sure the return to white light was a shock. Have you seen the blue-white lights on some vehicles now? They could run you into a ditch if you weren't careful; it's so blinding. Certainly not a good trend. The yellow street lights create a welcoming, warm, comfortable environment for residents. It gets the job done without harsh brilliance, which feels unnatural at night. Not to mention the hormonal disruption that occurs from viewing the higher end of the light spectrum in the evening and night. There was a beautiful case study of a gas station that was highlighted in my urban design curriculum. The gas station was flooded with brilliant white lights. The employees and customers were cranky, felt unpleasant while visiting the gas station, and generally reported the location to feel trashy, unwelcoming, and unsafe. They hired an informed and reasonable lights technician (not just trying to sell the brightest lights possible to dazzle them, also not trying to sell the highest quantity of unnecessary lighting). They changed the lights down to a regular yellow-white spectrum of color, and reduced the quantity to match the cast light to the square footage of the space. The gas station didn't require any construction to transform their place into a more tranquil and safe-feeling environment, and customers no longer reported the place to feel 'harsh' or 'trashy'. The before and after pictures were worth a thousand words. Wish I still had that presentation to upload it. It's amazing what some thoughtful light adjustments can do!

...but they chose blue which is hard to focus on at night... Red or green would have been better for night ops

Blue cuts through better to the human eye. However they are used in a line for alignment much like you said, harder to focus (pin point) but easier to see.

@@c2protectI was gonna make a comment similar to this but yes, easier to see from a distance which is required, but once you’re close it’s harsh. There’s no real balance

That might make things safer... our overlords don't want that😂

Nice

I had 2 large hella high beam lights on my bmw gs. They would light up the road and sides for a very long distance. Even the deer. Course for fog I just used the regular low beams though I did have a 80/100 bulb installed. Still worked, even in thick tule fog.

Amber is more versatile. When you turn them off, you'll find that you are less blinded.

Lol me too!

It's important to keep in mind though that often signage uses retroreflectors, which work best when the light source is as close to your eyes as possible. Thus, for on road use, it's better to keep lights close to your eyes, but the same mechanism that makes signs work is exactly why dust/moisture/smoke are reflected as well, it's good to have both so that you can use either depending on the situation at hand.

@@WeAreChecking definitely a good point. I guess its best to have options!
