Feels like a hint in a game level. The bright light indicates the path forward; Maybe there is a secret nearby.

    This reminds me of the temperature of lights that my backyard neighbors have. Everyone is entitled to their own preferences when it comes to light bulb temperature... until they do it wrong.

    I’ve been know to just replace the bulbs. For example the walking path around my last apartment.

    Some kinds of lights turn "warmer" the longer they burn, so maybe this one was just recently swapped and is actually from the same box as the others

    I can hit that toggle switch for you… for $400.

    The spectrum difference indicates that the cold bulb has been changed out for an LED model. The others most likely will be changed out as well as they fail.

    LEDs can be warm. Someone just selected a mismatched bulb.

    LEDs can literally be red how much warmer than that do you want?

    Leds can be pretty much any color we want. You are not providing helpful input.

    So you admit that your first post was pointless then

    i can all but guarantee these kinds of fixtures have never used incandescent bulbs and are not even designed to handle the heat from them.

    You are correct. The yellow bulbs are most likely sodium bulbs. You would not use an incandescent bulb in that fixture.

    I doubt they're sodium bulbs either, these are really modern fixtures and i see no reason for them to use anything other than LEDs, quite possibly not even in the form of standard bulbs.

    Thant's mildly disappointing, more than infuriating... Unless you have anger issues of course
