You may have noticed how cars are resorting to BLUE RICH HEADLIGHTS to see the road better in cities that use WHITE LED STREETLIGHTS. And while THE HEADLIGHTS ARE far more dangerous, IT'S ALL ABOUT being able to SEE THE ROAD'S MARKINGS! And THIS IS A MAJOR if NOT DANGEROUS IMMEDIATE CONCERN.


The science behind the WHITE LED STREETLIGHTS not being able to REFLECT the ROAD'S markings has to do with THE SPECIFIC PAINT street markings are used for. AND it isn't just SOME FANCY HIGHLIGHTING PAINT, but an IMPORTANT VISIBILITY MARKER that plays A HUGE ROLE in driving! See? As we get older and we age, WE ALSO highly rely ON REFLECTIVE PAINT MARKINGS such as the infamous Thermoplastic Paint. This PAINT doesn't reflect well ON BLUE LIGHT OR WARM WHITE LIGHT SPECTRUMS because the PAINT USES A HIGH SPECTURAL REFRAGMENT to be able to be seen. The SAME SIMILAR PRINCIPLE 2200K amber streetlights use IN THEIR SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGIES!

We all know and are familiar with OUR OLD HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM (HPS) streetlights that PRODUCED that warm golden orange hue that WE ALL LOVE AND MISS. This WASN'T always SIMPLY DUE TO AESTHETICS. But played a MAJOR ROLE in the streets themselves! And Science backs this up clearly! BLUE SPECTRUM or WARM-BLUE SPECTRUM LIGHTING (like the 3000k+) use a HIGHLY CONSTRACTED SINGLE spectrum of BLUE, PURPLE, GREEN AND WHITE LUMINS that often can be HARSH on RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN AND BLUE spectral lighting. And the ONESIDED LIGHT SPECTRUM is why IT'S UNSAFE and OFTEN ruins the AESTHETIC NATURE of THE AMBER STREETLIGHTS. The lack of COLOR SPECTRUM plays a HUGE ROLE in....

- Human Health
- Night Time Sleep
- Night Skies
- Emotional and Mental Well-being
- Environmental and Nocturnal Life
- Trees
- Economy systems
- Many more!

This is why THE PHOSPHER AND NARROW BAND AMBER LEDS that use THE SAME EXACT TECHNOLOGIES those HARSH BLUE RICH LEDS use are IMPORTANT and why CITIES NEED TO CHANGE their contracts and or MAKE CHANGES to their STREETLIGHT INFRASTRUCTURE.

One of the biggest ARGUMENTS CITIES make are often tied to COST-EFFICIENCY and ENVIRONMENTAL WELL-BEING. But that's just it. THESE SCRIPTED LINES our leaders use do NOT favor the voices and CITY'S WELL-BEING. But instead, JUST make excuses to continue A CONTRACT that often reflects THEIR own insecurities they fear. Hence WHY I PROVIDE resources and DO WHAT I do to ensure cities make these changes! WHEN MORE VOICES come out, and THE LOUDER the message gets, THE HARDER it is for CITY OFFICIALS to keep counter-arguing their SCRIPTED WORD SALAD. And YES! I openly EXRESS this because OUR CITY LEADER HERE IN ABQ is displaying this.

And Dalkia (Our contract to the city) IS being honestly negligent ABOUT the city's well-being too. THEY have LOS ANGELAS CA, PHEONIX AZ, DETROIT MI, CHICAGO IL, SAN DIEGO CA, SEATTLE WA, PHILADELPHIA PA and many more cities USING their DREADFUL WHITE LED STREETLIGHT contract. However the issue is, "BRIBERY TO A SOUL that DIDN'T ASK FOR their permission doesn't fix the problem". IT IS that LEADERS have rules OF THEIR OWN they have to follow! And contractors LIKE DALKIA that can't keep fighting for something that isn't working. And IF THE CONTRACT doesn't meet a specific STANDARD, that contract CAN AND WILL be either 1. CHANGED for better improvements 2. be removed and a NEW CONTRACT to be introduced. AND OR, 3. THE company of the contract WILL NEED TO REDO OR UNDO the contract completely. These RULES APPLY and when LEADERS/CONTRACTORS ignore them, backlash, anger, frustration and CITYWIDE/COUNTRYWIDE changes are FORCED into these leaders/contractors FATES. This isn't TO hurt or destroy these institutions, IT'S A LESSON that, "YOU CAN'T SOLVE A PROBLEM when YOUR PROBLEM doesn't USE THE COMMON SENSE that you learned about."

If you can't USE COMMON SENSE, then YEAH! Unrest occurs; people start resorting to LOOPHOLES and the system BUILT TO HELP these problems ENDS UP FAILING because the HANDS behind them DO NOT use their brain properly. IF graduating FROM COLLEGE was enough to BRAG ABOUT how you made an accomplishment makes you ALMIGHTY powerful, WELL? I HATE TO say this and burst your bubble, YOU'RE WRONG!

To the support and everyone WHO CONTINUES TO sign and be apart of this movement, I JUST WANT TO thank you all for the support! I CAN'T express enough HOW GLAD I am to be LEADING A MOVEMENT to a LEGACY THAT HAS BEEN around for OVER A HALF A CENTURY! And it's an HONOR TO BE LEADING that movement and to carry that torch! I will be posting ANOTHER UPDATE WITH RESOURCES in the coming days, SO THAT WAY IF you want to volunteer, YOU CAN pressure OUR CITIES and tell them, "BAN WHITE LEDS AND THE CONTRACTS BEHIND THEM!" to SHOWCASE your dedication to this movement!

And DO NOT feel like you "HAVE TO" do that extra step IN CONTACTING those resources AFTER SIGNING THIS PETITION. Your voice still DEDICATES AND PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE in this movement! It's just for those WHO DECIDE TO take that extra step into doing so! And that does help!

Team Amber? WE GOT THIS! LET'S HIT OUR SUBGOAL OF 500 SIGNATURES and LET'S GET TO OUR FIRST MAJOR GOAL OF 3,000 SIGNATURES! Because THE more the voices, the harder it is for cities to KEEP arguing back on this matter!
