In the U.S., why are many highway/street lights a yellow or amber color instead of being plain white?
One would think that white lamps would provide for better nighttime visibility.
I suppose if you’re driving in a car, it wouldn’t make much difference because you can always turn on your high beams. But it makes a big difference for pedestrians.
I’ve been walking at night on streets that were illuminated by those amber lamps, and these don’t do a very good job of lighting up the streets. They make the streets look dim and spooky for pedestrians.
White light is given off by metal halide lighting. High Pressure Sodium lighting gives off a yellow tint when it burns. The problem with metal halide is it can be damaged in extreme cold and burns out quicker than High Pressure Sodium. Notice that most indoor lighting is metal halide whereas outdoor lighting is sodium.
