Green light bulbs on light posts
 

Hello-

Just being nosy….

I’ve seen white lights and I’ve seen blue lights on the lamp posts in front of individual houses. Now I’ve noticed that some houses have green lights on their lamp posts.
Does anyone know if there is any significance to the green or blue lights on the lamp posts?

Thanks
Julie

Blue was in support of Police, no idea of green.

I believe that green bulbs are in support of our troops?

Would you believe green is the color of money? That is why ours is green.

Actually when we moved in our pest control guy said do not get white as it will attract bugs. So we looked around and nobody on our block had green so we got green bulbs.

I was talking to a co-worker today and he mentioned having green lights on at his house in support of his son on active deployment. His son was recently sent in support of the operation in Kabul.

Blue, support of first responders: police, doctors, nurses, paramedics.

I do not know why but we have white bulbs, L E Ds and it does not attract bugs. The old yellow bug lamps, I've not see those in years.

Years ago, I had one of those black light bug electrocution things. Most of what it attracted was moths. Mosquitoes for example are not attracted by light.

My neighbor had red lights for a while. Someone, NOT ME, must have told him what that means

FWIW, there are now yellow LED bulbs. Seem to work fine on my lampost and 2 garage lamps available on Amazon (where else!) to replace yellow incandescent ones that were there. Person across the street from me has red left over from Christmas. I advised her but she laughed. ;)

In my opinion, the garden lamp posts have outlived their usefulness now that the emergency services know exactly where your property is using GPS etc.

I would much rather have no light in my garden, and give nature a break at night when it is supposed to be dark, but well-meaning neighbors replace my bulb if I take it out and I don't want to seem ungrateful.

Now if some red lights start popping up that will really be an interesting thread on this forum.

Bingo.

What's her house number?

Veteran!

If it’s not Christmas time it’s not HO HO HO just plain Ho

There should be a circuit breaker controlling power to the lampost light.

I have a blue light in my lamp post. I support police and first responders...

The Meaning of Green
"Green is the color of hope, renewal and well-being. "Greenlight" is also a term commonly used to activate forward movement.
The simple action of changing one light to green is intended to spark a national conversation regarding the recognition of veterans, and "greenlight" them forward as valued members of our communities."
What is Greenlight a Vet?
America's veterans are some of our nation's bravest, hardest-working men and women.
However, it is hard to show them the appreciation they deserve when, back home and out of uniform; they are more camouflaged than ever.
Greenlight a Vet is a campaign to establish visible national support for our veterans by changing one light to green.
Change One Light to Green
Let us honor our veterans not only on November 11th, but all year round by changing one light to green in a visible location - on your porch, your home, or at your office- and keep it glowing every day as a symbol of appreciation and support for our veterans.
To help share your support, take a picture of your green light and post it using the hashtag #greenlightavet.

Green is for military, blue
is in support of police.

I put up one of those black light bug execution lights when I lived in the mountains of Pennsylvania, with the same result you had. It killed thousands of mosquitoes, drawn probably from so far away that they wouldn’t have otherwise found my house, but I didn’t notice a decrease in mosquitoes. What I did notice was that the light was drawing and electrocuting Luna moths and other beautiful moths. This is the only time I saw Luna moths in Pennsylvania. I didn’t even know they lived there. Unwilling to kill such beautiful creatures without a good reason, I took down the light after a few days.

By now you know the answer, but our street has become too dark because of this symbolic act. This is a safety issue.

We’d rather donate $ to veterans organizations & put flags out on appropriate days, never touching the ground. An individual choice.

We have a green light by our front door. It’s to support our military troops

Green supports the military

well, i can help here, lol. the green were put up for xmas & i've been too lazy to remove it & put the blue one back, lol. ( in mc clure, @ xmas, 1 side of the road uses red bulbs, other side uses green.) i have now become self aware & will tend to the bulb ltr 2day. :pray:

Green light- means the household contains a military veteran or supports the military.
Blue lights- means the household contains a retired police officer or supports the police.
Red lights- means that the household contains a retired firefighter or supports firefighters

Green Light means "support your local landscaper"?

If it's not a RED light, don't worry bout it ~

I have purple light in support of Fat Tuesday.

The green lights are in support of our veterans.

In our neighborhood at Christmas time we alternate one house will have a greenlight the other one will have a red light. Some people just don’t take their green lights down

That is true ……. However, the post is not the only thing on that circuit so anything else on that circuit would also be “dead”

A better solution is to place a blown bulb in the post or partially unscrew the bulb so that it doesn’t turn on …..

It takes the place of the loofa on the golf cart🤪😂

Green lights are to show support for our troops and veterans.

Yes green is for military. I’ve had a green light out for years

Put a lamp on your lanai or in a window. You don't have to change your post light.

I was thinking the same. Makes sense!

At least it wasn’t a RED light!

The green is in support of our military.

I use a purple light, tells the ladies in my neighborhood my wife is out shopping and I got 5 minutes........LOL

It's to show support of our troops.

post lights
 

No, the post light is not on a separate circuit breaker
