Filament LEDs. Both a blessing and a curse.

A cinematographer's take on the LED takeover. Found this video through a Tom Scott newsletter.

This is really cool movie! Impressed by in-depth technical knowledge of the author. But a cinematigrapher *has* to know everything about light!

Hope neon is not endangered in USA. Here in Astana almost all outdoor neon signs are gone now, except the letters at the entrance of Khan-Shatyr mall. Still some real neon tubes inside here and there. Some pockets of HPS streetlights remain too.

Neon lighting is still very popular around here. I haven't yet seen an LED neon replacement in an outdoor application. As for HPS, it's still seen sometimes in rural areas and parts of Hillsboro, but most of it has been replaced with LED. Many parking lots still use MH and sometimes HPS, though.

I am at the point now to where I am happy to see HPS being phased out.  To me the Orange light is not very useful.  I would have rather they kept things MV but when HPS is replaced with 3000-4000K LED, it looks great.

The more you hate the LED movement, the stronger it becomes.
