"before, with the use of multi-colored lighting, than with the standard white?"

Well part of the reason they don't use colored lights anymore could
be as simple as the new non incandescent lights cost way more than they used to.

"But they last a lot longer"
Well we don't really know that yet, on the electronic lights like say florescent
when we would have a power outage or a lightning strike the bulbs or the transformers
all over campus would go out, something about that surge messes em up.
I know as I used to be the one who would go and change the bulbs
or rewire a new transformers into the lights all over OSU.

They did not tell you that one did they?

So change is not always for the good even if that is the idea behind the change.
I hate the new LED lights, and the idea that a law can totally wipe out a type
of light bulb (incandescent) we use is nutz!

PS we unplug our things that have electronics in them during a large lighting storms
or after the power goes out as the surge when the power goes back on really does mess with and shorten the
life of your electronic type stuff.
Turning off the power does not help.
Heck even washers and dryers have electronics these days.
