I asked him “what color were the clouds back then?” and he said they were white. I asked him what happens if I take an orange light and light up something that’s white with it. He ignored me. He went on about how everyone in his age group remembers the Sun being orange, and by me questioning him, I’m calling him and all his peers liars and I’m stupid because I’m younger than him and vaccinated.

    But the sun is hot. You can feel the heat radiating from it.

    LEDs are not hot - that’s pretty much the main reason that they’re energy efficient, they don’t waste energy as heat.

    It’s not suddenly gotten colder, so if they did switch to LEDs, then they’re also artificially compensating for the heat. Which would completely defeat the purpose of switching (presumably from an incandescent bulb) to LEDs.

    Also, I’m super intrigued about who is supposedly behind this sun-bulb maintenance, and more interestingly, what could possibly be powering it

      LEDs are not hot

      Someones never accidentally touched an LED array.

      I can guarantee you an LED array as big as the sun would generate enormous amounts of heat.and would need massive amounts of cooling.

        Have you touched strong incandescent lights?

        Sure LED arrays are hot, but cooler than old lights
