Meh.

I see that every time I leave work, and I've left work for 25 years.

It looks like pollution to me ..... the particles of pollution scatter the red end of the light spectrum.

Still never mind - just keep your bedroom window shut ๐Ÿ™‚

They're a lot better than those ghastly orange/yellow things, that give a horrible glow to the sky, and barely illuminate anything nearby. The LED ones are neutral daylight, make it easier to see actual colour at night, and are easily dimmed late in the evening. They're being used on part of the M4 heading west from London, and they're excellent, you could turn your lights off, it's so easy to see where you're going.
Also, they don't spread light upwards, geeing light pollution to a minimum.
I took this trough the screen last Saturday, about 12.30-ish

Much better than sodium lights.
Oh, I wasn't driving, btw.

Yep, totally agreed - ideal for motorways. Little back street cul-de-sacs though? Totally unnecessary for it to be effing daylight 24 hours outside the window.
