"skewed to the blue end of the spectrum"

When we drive down the road I can see in people houses and see the blue light from the LED bulbs.
I'm kinda a bit freakish when it comes to light bulbs and the glow it makes in the house or even outside, and not just for your tiki bar but everywhere.
I think most people just don't care.

So I can't live with that blue cast, I don't even like a blue painted room, that's just me.

I hope you are right and they have fixed that.

The small Christmas lights for decorating your house is just not for me it can look good on some houses but C9 is true Christmas for me.

I have never blown fuses with my C9s in my 40 years of using them but then if they had that fuse thing in the string I cut that out first thing and put on a new plug.

In fact now I make my own strings of C9 light sets for my house and it is custom to my house and fits just right with sockets that actually work really well.

It costs a bunch at first but is great every year not to mess around with f-ed up lights.

It's all what you like, but damn to regulate certain bulbs out of existence that's nuts.

I am a bit surprised at how people put up with stuff that does not really work that good and how things are supposed to be replaced after four years like computers and phones.
Our parents would have never gone for that.

Old man rant, wonder what the old people in 20 years will be like.
