I know one thing, I've become much more aware of my autism in recent years 

Thanks, Sammi

That's as maybe, but what I hate is LED being forced on us. Not once have I ever been asked do I want LED streetlights, they just come along and replace perfectly good HID lamps by the street-full when there's nothing wrong with any of them.

If you want to learn how they work, that's fine, buy some and use them at home; you don't need to replace perfectly good street lights to do that. I've never said people shouldn't be able to use LEDs at home if they want to, I just hate them being forced on me in the street.

@ Robert, I don't think you out grow your autism, you just learn ways to cope with it. 

Passed by this crosswalk in Watson Lake, Yukon the other evening.  The overhead sign on the right had the standard gold HPS glow.  It must have been an older bulb, because I saw it cycle out.  The sign on the left had the ruby red glow of an LPS that had just switched on. 

I second that.

Admin edit - unnecessary quote removed.

I like to learn about all lighting technologies, LED included.

Don't care, just wish they hadn't 

There are numerous other topics on this subject if you search. I'm also mildly autistic, I think a lot of us here are. It seems to be a fairly common trait amongst collectors.

I do have mild autism and have out grown as I have aged
