I know they're terrible and gon for a good reason.... But.

I miss old school lights. I remember as a kid, around town in the winter. Pitch black at 6pm. -20f, absolutely still air. All you can hear is the hum of the sodium lights. Just the warmest red/orange light.

I'm probably just an old man reminiscing, but the world won't produce temperatures, light, or silence like that anymore. Now it's just the harshest led lights, a million beeps, and half heard music on shit ass speakers.

Well, maybe today's silence doesn't hum like a sodium light, but it continues to exist. I still enjoy your poetic reminiscence tho.

I have been fishing around for fome heavyweight lighting, can't even find those 500W halogen ones any more. Just as you say leds with crappy light.

No, the "any color light bulbs" are good either.
