you can just set a lower TTL and get a response from a hop somewhere in your ISP's net.

More of a non-technical question, do you see demand for outdoor lights at the red end of the spectrum?

Supposedly that's better for night vision, light pollution and various animals. But everywhere I go I see yellowish sodium vapor lights replaced with white LEDs.

You need to read the spec sheet when buying LEDs.

CRI, lumen, color temperature and watt (actual, not incandescent-equivalent) are the relevant parameters. The item titles are generally vague.

Specifically for the full spectrum you want CRI > 0.95

There are far infrared heater bulbs that just emit IR and don't get too hot, so you can keep them on the desk without distracting light or getting burned while also keeping power consumption low.

It separates the light and heat concerns.
