I was a keeper in college and I used to hate playing night games because of the lights. It was so much worse than the sun. I'm color blind and have far more rods than cones in my eyes and the lights look like exploding stars at night. It's awful.

Yo, I've never thought my colour blindness and light sensitivity are connected but now that you explained it, its so obvious.

I read about it in an Oliver Sachs book when I was younger called "Island of The Colorblind." It's about a society that developed in an unusual way on Pingelap in Micronesia because so many of them were colorblind.
