As I explained earlier, I couldn't help but know that, seeing how my hometown over the past few years has been switching the downtown lighting from the previous white-ish to these new orange LEDs to meet light pollution reduction targets given the presence of a "world-class" astrolab/telescope in our region.
Meanwhile, Chicago's doing the exact opposite - replacing orange by white. Which I guess makes sense, if light pollution isn't critical. Most people probably like it bright. Personally, this new orange glow felt weird at first (I've grown to like it, though).
