      Yes. Many of the people that objected also wore MAGA hats. I think the whole idea was that it was better for the environment and you know what that means.

          For sure, but if an entire city switches over to LED, that is a lot of electricity saved. Imagine the impact an entire country would have.

              I’ve heard the LEDs offer much less light pollution, but perhaps that is not unique to technology difference and just the difference in lumens?

              Also, I’m surprised there aren’t equal lumen led lights.
