Also, colour blindness prevents entering certain careers (flying being one for obvious reasons).
Not really been too much of a problem in my teaching career, other than spreadsheet cells not flagging up some colour coded data quite so clearly. Apparently not all pupils were doing well (green) and some in fact needed intervention (red).

The Dubai lamp has twice the number of LEDs for the same wattage - they will last for ever.
If you know what you are doing LED bulbs are easy to adjust to reduce the current through the LEDs (depends on their design)

Anyway, l better get back to the subject of the thread.
Don’t we now live in a ‘disposable’ society? Nothing is built to last. We just throw away and replace just for the sake of convenience.
Aren’t we a more intelligent race now with brilliant, progressive and futuristic minded people inventing or improving products every second?
As for buildings, l think they should be built to last not be a temporary place to be knocked down and replaced with another temporary building. That takes up too much time and time is precious.
