Walking down the street in Carson, I attracted to this gross looking florescent light. At the time, it looked more yellowish and dirty. After taking the picture, I was surprised to see it came out green. I guess that's what made it dirty looking. Now it seems more eerie and standoffish, not that it was inviting to begin with. I saw this right around Halloween too, so I hope they used it to compliment their decorations. The light definitely illuminated the entire driveway when it was dark out and serves a very practical function. It's harsh and intimidating glare would be complete with a scary dog to ward off possible intruders.

ReplyDeleteIt was probably an HID, not fluorescent - given the color, probably a type of gas called Mercury Vapor - it changes color as it ages and goes through pretty garish colors
