Then they're wrong. Our eyes are for seeing things in sunlight, that's how we evolved. Giving them anything different is nonsensical.

I bet a good share of this group needs eyeglasses, myself included. Should we throw them away because nature doesn't give us perfect eyesight for our lifetimes?

If that's supposed to be a comparison then it's failed.

Changing the colour of the light is not to help your eyesight, all it will do is hinder it.

It would be like your car preferring diesel even though it was made to run on petrol.

It was a fair analogy.

It was a very good one. Both are something desiring something they aren't designed for.

I have some LED Christmas lights that are too bright. Some will be dimmer with a diode in series (since it passes a little less that one half of the AC cycle). Make sure voltage and current capacity is OK. Polarity doesn't matter here.

I'd much rather have real white than "warm white", which looks like dirty yellow.

Perhaps people are choosing it because that's what they had no choice but to accept in the past (AFAIK, real white incandescents are possible, but are hotter and much less efficient). Now we have something better (real white LEDs).

There's the (much too common) mistake of assuming that what you've had is what's best.

Some people think they don't look as good without the dishonest "warm white" light.

The overall issue is about preference. Many people simply prefer one over the other regardless of facts, fiction or otherwise. When a smug POS chimes in with the belief everyone else should abide by his preference, he simply makes an ass of himself, though, it isn't the first time nor will it be the last.

You must hate going out in the sun.

Do you hate the outdoors? Do you put special glasses on to change the colour of sunlight because you think it's wrong?

I don't know how your Christmas lights are wired, but LED does stand for 'light emitting diode'. I would assume polarity matters.

It is true some of the things you drag home from a dimly lit saloon don't look as good when the sun comes up.

That's nothing to do with the sun, that's your blood alcohol content being lower.

Interesting, I had to use an American proxy to access that. I wonder why they banned it in the UK? It didn't even say it was banned, it said "not available" as though it had been deleted.

Then why don't you killfile me? Or is that above your level of intelligence?

Willie is an American treasure we don't want to share with the world. He's a spokesman of our values:

there are many "natural" forms of light sunlight at noon or sunlight at sunset?
