It would really depend on the lux levels and the impact of the light on
being able to distinguish colour and contrast, eg reading instructions on a
sirginge.
Glasgow's buchannan street actually has blue streetlights running the
length of it (for 'atmosphere' rather than discouraging drug use) and from
speaking to friends, colleages etc, i know opinion on them is divided, they
can aparently make white and yellow appear virtually identical.

Subject: blue light toilets.
Dear All,
What is your opinion on blue light toilets?
In Bournemouth the Council has installed blue lights in their toilets. The
effect of this is that it had the impact of reducing the number of discarded
used needles in public toilets. Apparently for users their veins are almost
impossible to see under blue light thereby making injection very difficult
if not impossible. Results in Bournemouth were 75% reduction in discarded
needles
What do you think of the idea?
Our officers would like to know what disabled people think of the idea.
Please send your comments to me or [log in to unmask]
