They're so obnoxiously goddamn white. Where's my friendly familiar orange?

Oh well, at least I still have the orange sodium street lamps out in front on our street, for now......... their days are certainly numbered.


Farewell, orange glow, I will forever miss you.


Anyone else suspicious of this new-fangled LED awfulness?

This really is bad news...you are not alone in your feelings on this
