Re: Your government at work, Fluorescent Light Bulbs

I have no need to change the color of my tail lights, even if I did I would
be in vioation of the NHTSA light standards. I like the amber on my deck
at night, that why I chose that color, no bugs LOL

Really? then why did you say:
Actually, LEDs are better suited for use indoor, because the color of the
lights can be adjusted for different uses, unlike regular light bulbs and
CFLs which have only one color.

LEDs come in different color. If red, green and blue LEDs are mixed
together, the light appears white, just like the white part of a computer
screen screen actually is made of red, green and blue pixels that blend
together to make white.

You should read up on some engineering.

Not if they put out pinkish-orange light like the mercury-free sodium
lamps on my street.
Or the refrigerator-interior-cum-hospital-room of LEDs.
