I get that they're more efficient in some sense, but man the LED streetlights and other big lamps are so irritating and make things like like such ass compared to mercury vapor or even sodium lights.
They're saying that the visual performance is indirectly affected by invisible wavelengths somehow. Not that you can see the difference between two types.
