Hi Antoinette
There has been no guidance that recommends white lamps,
but recently has proved that white lamps improve performance of face
recognition.
(I would guess that lighting standards will include this recommendation in
the near future, but not for now)
Peter Raynham at University College London (his name appeared in another
posting 10 days ago)
is examining this issue.

Subject: Sodium Lighting
Hello,
I received a query on street lighting - specifically Sodium lighting and the
problems that this lighting poses for people with regard to visual contrast
(visibility of kerb edges, reading timetables in low lighting
etc.)
Is anyone aware of guidance or recommendations on street lighting? Either
from an accessibility or a security point of view.
Kindest regards,
Antoinette
