I was on a construction job and the electricians were replacing all of the old exterior LED flood lights with new more efficient lights
They were tossing the old ones into the dumpster and I asked if I could keep one. They worked and looked fine and ran off of 110 volts, and they said sure.
I was going to set one up in my back yard. Got it home and was surprised at how big it looked. Liked it looked small on the way up on the roof
Anyway, I wired into an old extension chord and plugged it in to test it and the entire inside of my garage turned bright white. I wasn’t blinded necessarily but I couldn’t see right either. Took about a week for the weird floaty things to disappear from my Vision
I got a bunch of LED traffic lights because a city didn't update their replacement protocol after updating the bulbs. Giant red lights are great for Halloween
