Why are some streetlights deliberately manufactured to provide illumination with a reddish color?
In: 2
to sum it up – orange lights are older and are sodium-vapor discharged lights. (they’re still used today, slowly being faded out tho)
so – lights have sodium in them. when electricity passes through the lights, it does its thing and that’s what makes the orange tint
it’s easy on the eyes and (more importantly) CHEAP!
