I am not well informed I guess. Have you heard of replacing the porch light with a blue bulb as a show of support for the local and nationwide Police Depts? I just now heard, added a second porch fixture with a blue bulb this morning.

I think it is red you are thinking about not blue. Put a nice bright red light on the porch and you should see plenty of police support.
Right on....

I feel silly now. I thought the random few blue porch lights I've seen were bug lights.

In Amsterdam a blue porch light indicates you will get a big surprise if you decide to visit the good looking gal inside.

No, no, no. Blue is for law enforcement, red is to show support for firefighters. And I'm sticking with that story...

The blue light police support on da pohch must be a local thing. Everyone else as you were, over and out.

Buy cheap regular bulbs (if such a thing still exists) and then make a donation to,your local PD.
So then, what the heck are the "YELLOW" light bulbs for ??
I knew I should have not trusted that salesman !!
He sold me "Yellow" light bulbs and Flood lights !!

The cool burning yellow light bulbs announce your support for the fight against global warming and your support for the Al Gore the “The Sky is Warming, The Sky is Warming!!!” campaign.

It's social media driven thing.

There was a time, where I was raised, when a public place with a string of blue lights under the eves and around the building was called, "House of blue lights".
They indicated a combination, nip joint, honky-tonk dance hall, juke joint, and was a place where self-respecting ladies would turn up their nose and look the other way while passing by on the adjacent road.
It was where folks went to dance the "Boogie-Woogie", and all the attending girls wore saddle oxfords and a jaunty bow in their hair.
Sadly, the local, "hard-siders", and "holy-rollers", had gotten the local laws to shut em all down before I got old enough to attend, but I had two uncles that were regular attendees; much to the chagrin of my old Gran-Gran.
For all I know there were no others in the world but the local one I recall, but I keep half remembering a song refrain about "House of Blue Lights" ? But,..it could just as easily be the song by George Clooney's aunt, Rosemary,.."Come ona my house sa, my house sa come on".

The blue lights to show support for police is very popular in Philly. My family has ours above our attached garage. Also a lot of cops and firefighters reside in my neighborhood. Every other house has cars with FOP license plates parked in their driveways. We also have a firetruck mailbox with a red light (it's solar powered and glows red at night) attached on top of it.

I had heard it was in support of police bit don't the Austim/Asberger folks also use blue? What if your blue light is for autism? Or maybe for autistic police officers?
My son has a blue light is his room, not becuase he has been diagnosed as being on the spectrum, just because he likes blue.

I put a blue porch light on my house, years ago, so I could tell people look for the house with the blue porch light. If it also is taken to mean support for the local Police and other LE agencies, that's even better.

I like a bright porch light. Better to identify my target.
