A friend of mine is currently trying to find a scrap street
light, one of those orange (?) monochrome species. He believes it has
a second small band spectrum in the near-IR. He also mentioned using
it as a cozy light in his room, but I doubt that will work....it's
a sick color IMO....;-))

I think these are sodium discharge lights.  I was once on a sound stage
where a sodium light was being used (for matte purposes) and the smell was
rather unpleasant ... so your friend will be in for a shock in a confined
space!
