Yeah, sorry, i figured somewhere in the thread the new color temp might be mentioned, but I couldn’t bear to read 5 pages.
3000k is definitely noticeably whiter than 2200k. Not sure if they make 2200k LED street lamps, but they do make 2700k LED streetlamps.
I hear you on the orange nighttime glow in the city. There’s something much more comforting about the diffuse haze rather than the directed white beam
