Yeah I remember when they largely stopped being a thing in the UK and for a while we put up with those crappy CFLs that took ages to warm up and had a bleak colour temperature. Modern LED bulbs are fantastic though, my ones even look like old incandescent bulbs.
I do miss the old low-pressure sodium street lights though, the yellow light that ate the colours out of everything was such a cool aesthetic and there’s got to be generations of British kids with a core memory of reading a book in the back of the family car at night by it.
