This neighborhood is about 5-6 years old. All the houses came with CFL bulbs with crappy 2700k color temp, though I've replaced most interior lights with LED as the CFLs failed. Somehow the CFLs outside in the elements have not failed yet. The street lights appear to be old school sodium halogen or something - they take several minutes to get up to full brightness once they turn on.They all look rather yellow/orange, old incandescent technology?
If so then they would certainly not be approved of here, I had someone come round to check my house efficiency rating a few weeks ago, now the fact that I still had an incandescent light bulb in the under stairs cupboard is online for the entire nation to see!
A mile or so away, where they just finished some road construction and installed new traffic lights and street lights - that's all LED now.
