Your track record can't be worse than mine! Plus with me, reading on smaller screens words like that often look the same if I read quickly...hate to admit it's time for reading glasses in my case!

I haven't heard of any specific program to upgrade these, but it is a pretty simple retrofit to replace the fluorescent lamps with LED T8 tubes, which might be what you have seen in some locations.
As obscure of a question as the OP was, I guess the above answer shows we seem to have someone who knows just about any random subject here on FT!

I have to say if there were suddenly bats hanging from the ceiling and snakes on the floor of a jetway, I'm not sure I would notice. I'm usually pretty oblivious at that point of the process.

LED changeovers would make sense, as that is happening more and more in general it seems.
