Last night I stayed at a hotel with horrible blue lights. The hallways were too bright and too blue. The parking lot was lit up with “daylight” blue-white LEDs. It looked like someone decided the lot wasn’t bright enough, and they added supplemental LED floodlights (not even compliant with state law, let alone city code) to the poles to fill the lots with extra light.

The free standing lights in the room had proper shades and pleasant 2700K “warm” CFL bulbs. The ceiling light at the door was blue, the bar light above the bathroom mirror was blue, and the light over the toilet was blue.

The hanging lights in the lobby were fine, but the spotlights in the ceiling were obnoxious.

I wonder if the hotel got ripped off by a fly-by-night energy efficient retrofitter.

Science has determined precisely how blue lights hurt people. It’s too bad the country replaced safe light bulbs with fundamentally defective bulbs prematurely.

I’d like the legislatures to protect the public from blue-white LEDs.
