I am a fan of LED lighting, however they do have some drawbacks.

I live in Wisconsin and our city decided to install LED lighting for the stop lights. They failed to take into account that the traditional lamps melted the ice and snow. It made for interesting driving not knowing whether to stop or accelerate at the intersections.

We have the same problem here in the flatlands of Illinois. I have the additional joy of having my ham radio receive blasted out by static when I pull up near most stoplights now.

I live on a corner lot, the village had to REMOVE the LED Street Light on the corner because it was interfering with my receive and I'm a licensed amateur radio operator. At first they refused, they changed their tune really quickly when the FCC got involved.

I have a license to transmit on the band that their light was creating interference on, they don't. LOL! Bastards. I can't wait to move outta here.
