Complain to your city council. They can make LEDs any color now.

They even make bright LEDS with 592nm frequency light (the same that sodium vapor bulbs give off).

Such a narrow band was great because it meant your rods did most of the work.

You can literally see better in the orange light.

There's also awesome new streetlights which will fade off when there's no traffic and fade back on when a car comes through, adjusting the brightness depending on the quantity of tradfic

Any city that has already paid to install them is not likely to pay again to change the color.

They can just replace them as the old ones die, and use the better color in new installations
