Colorado Supports Law Enforcement

A blue porch light in Colorado usually signals support for law enforcement. America's Project Blue Light invites residents in all states to switch to a blue porch light during several Project Blue Light initiatives throughout the year. Some residents choose to make it a permanent switch. You can find a blue LED 'outdoor' bulb for sale in lots of places including Amazon.

Colorado's Red Light District

A red light doesn't necessarily mean a "red-light district" these days. In February, people use a red bulb on their porch for Valentine's Day. Others use a red light for American Heart Month or in support of the American Red Cross. Red is also a color that is used to show support for America's firefighters including those here in Colorado. You can find red LED outdoor lights at Walmart and Home Depot.
