Yes, I do... green light shows support for military veterans; blue light shows support/solidarity for police. And then there's the red light, but we won't go into that! (But I saw a lot of those in Amsterdam.)

Yes I do, serving the military it's a "thing".

It shows your support for the armed forces and it was also a very clever scheme Walmart started to probably sell an over shipment of green bulbs. However, we take it at face value and many do it here in San Diego, but less than you think...it never got a lot of publicity that lasted to keep getting the word out.

 

Back in the 1980's iit just meant we went to Spencer Gifts and bought some cool colored bulbs to make the house look trippy.

Have to be careful it isn't misinterpreted. In some gang scenerios, "green light" means someone has been named as a target to be killed.

Better than a red light... house of ill repute. Like Miss Kitty had at the Long Branch Saloon. Blue light is for autism. Black light means party on Wayne. Left handed cigarettes rolled and burned here.
