    Best is still bad, white light is awful at night. It should be sodium yellow, or even better, red.

      I will agree that 5000K (blue/white) really shouldn’t be used outside of few healthcare/industrial scenarios, but 4000/3500K (white) is a great color temp for outdoor lighting. 3000/2700K (yellow) doesn’t have the same punch and ends up resulting in more light pollution as you have to add more fixtures to achieve desired light levels. As for amber (I assume this is what you mean by red) that’s only really needed in coastal regions for wildlife purposes.

      I know where you’re coming from, but it’s really hard to see anything with red lighting, which kind of kills the purpose.
