Playing around with a bit of diffraction grating, I noticed that the spectrum of low pressure street lamps consists mostly of the bright yellow sodium "D" line, whereas the high pressure lamps show a continuous spectrum, with a black line where the "D" line ought to be, due to absorption by the cooler sodium vapour around the arc. I was wondering if anyone has tried mixing the light from the two types of lamp in an attempt to produce white, and what results they obtained?
