    I didn't say this in the video, but the purple street lights are not as bright, which is why they are replacing all of them. Feel free to report purple lights by responding to this. I'm curious if it's happening elsewhere.

      I was going to say that I thought the purple lights looked cool and I wish they weren’t getting replaced, but if they aren’t as bright as they are supposed to be then it’s ultimately a good thing that they are getting replaced.

      light emitting diode (LED) incapacitator is a weapon designed like a flashlight. It emits an extremely bright, rapid, and well-focused series of "differently-colored random pulses". Before human eyes can focus in on one frequency, another frequency comes on, causing intracranial pressure, which results in headache, nausea, vomiting, disorientation, irritability, and visual impairment to the target

    Coming from an engineer who designs lights for a living, you do not want purple lights for 3 reasons. 1) while bluer light does trigger your brain to become more alert, contrast capabilities go down, especially in hazey/foggy conditions. 2) because contrast capabilities are low, you're brain tends to try to "fill in the gaps" of your vision and can cause minor hallucinations. 3) white LEDs work by emitting blue, purple, and uv-A light, which is then down converted by a phosphor coating (a yellow substance) to a "white" light. If the phosphor coating burns off over time, the lamp will turn blue/purple, but ALSO emits UV-A light at a much higher rate, which can cause cataracts over long exposure. When you're in your car/truck, thats fine as most windows block UV light, but pedestrians are not as protected and could be compromised depending on the makeup of the lamp.

    • @Fight2Survive559
      @Fight2Survive559 2 года назад +8

      @@DavidCorbett1984 It's not really a defect. I think they're just marketing it as such so the manufacturer doesn't get in more trouble then they already are. LEDs are known to migrate out of their color ranges if you "overdrive" them over long periods of time. Cheap Chinese headlights tend to do the same thing in hot conditions. They're start out bright white, and then over time turn blue because the LED is being driven to hard, heating up the phosphor coating, and slowly "burning it off". Usually this kind of effect doesn't appear unless the light is subjected to warm or hot environments, which prevents the light from shedding excess heat off. You should only see this happen with cheap brands that didn't bother to engineer around the issue, or name brands that are promising lumen values that are unachievable without reducing time of life.

      I wish we could just go back to the other lights. I'm amazed at how less I seem to see with the LEDs.

Everybody flashing their lights because they think everyone else has their high beams on. 🙄 Doesn't seem to be an improvement for safety 😉

    As a truck driver, I like the purple/blue. The ones I see are pretty bright. I noticed that at night it is easier to see or distinguish oncoming traffic, intersection signals, and other aspects of traffic. I am disappointed to hear it's a defect and not a permanent feature. I think blue light could possibly help with fatigue at night. Plus, they're pretty!!

    They’re slowly turning blue because typical high power LED chips are emitting only in blue spectrum and a special phosphor blend coating that covers the LED chip is used to achieve white colour (full spectrum). This coating is burning away due to poor heat management making the light gradually turn blue. This is quite common in cheap/crappy LED light fixtures.

From the start of covid-19 in the united states, these LED lights are failing to purple in rapid succession. If people don't like other people thinking conspiracy theories, then the county would get these lights changed immediately, as it is a inhibitor of safety, especially at Major intersections. Some of these lights have been purple for well over a year, and I noticed that the purple lights, are a whole lot more reliable than the traditional white LED lights, that I've seen blink, or have sections burned out in them.

    Using the Prince song would be a killer apology ad from Acuity, if they chose to go that route...
    **music opens, shots of rain under those purple streetlights** "♫ I never meant to cause you any sorrow ... I never meant to cause you any pain... ♫"
    **Narrator** "Recently we learned that some of our LED streetlamps have been turning purple..."

    When the LEDs are made they are coated with a phosphorous coating ( that's why they look yellow, when you buy them in the shops) This coating is to stop UV light from being emitted, as it is particularly bad for your eyes & skin. This yellow coating wears away with age of use. Do not look directly at these lights when they appear purple, & don't expose bare skin to them either.
