a petition to change our laws surrounding blue-white LED lights
This comment is about the blue wavelength visible light spectrum of LED lights emitted by most vehicles on American roadways today. The blue-white light is way, way too bright, too harsh, and too blue for our roads. Not only are the lights too blue and too bright, but they also point too high. We now have lifted pickup trucks, long-haul semis, and jeeps that are blasting this sharp blue-white light directly into the mirrors of sedans. Lower-to-the-ground vehicles, such as Teslas, Audis, and BMWs have their lights pointed too high as well. When this is combined with the intensity, color, and sharpness of the light, it makes driving on the road at night unmanageable.
I am one of over 80,000 victims who have submitted a petition to change our laws surrounding blue-white LED lights on our roadways. There are many, many more who are victims as well. The rise of use of these lights has changed my life, keeping me from using the roads after sunset. I would like to use America's roads at night once again.
Thank you for your time.
