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.
I've changed out hundreds and hundreds of lights and fixtures... have Never come across these "purple" lights like this... Ive delt with UV's and black lights, but not this, in this kind of setting. Makes NO sense... Too many lights to be a defect.... Lights either work or they don't....
@@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. The headlights are especially bad, making color recognition worse while blinding on coming traffic. 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!!
Actually blue light actually wakes you up and ribs you of restfulness. I'm a driver too. I get the distinguishing quality, but the old halogens we're easier to distinguish as well. Oh yeah one thing. If you're under one don't look at it directly. You will see that blue light for hours.

I noticed some bright purple lights in “downtown” Springfield, VA and was very confused. Thanks for popping up in my feed with something I would’ve otherwise forgotten about
No. There's too many germs out there coronaviruses and covid-19 there's a pandemic and millions upon millions are dying we already have a housing crisis what are you going to do when there are so many more homes up for sale because people died due to a pandemic and no one to buy them because the rest of us are poor? Now I know what you're thinking if you just turn off the TV the pandemic goes away but I say no you would clearly see lots of death around you not just in the hospitals. That ends my RUclips Ted talk thank you for attending the comment sections.
@@graciegjj Wow, nice job at judging my character based off an idea that 1) Can wait until the end of the pandemic 2) Not a lot of people would be interested in and 3) Even if they are interested, they can view it all from the safety of their car as they are passing
"Small amount" There's a highway/bridge type road that connects two towns where I live. 90% of the lights are like this and there's easily 100+ lights on this stretch of road 😅 I had no idea what the reason was so thank you for this video.
“Small amount” likely refers to number of batches effected. And the local department of transportation probably bought them all at once from the same batch. Also consider how many units this company likely produces. Small amount is compared to their overall output
Yeah I think it’s 90% of all bulbs made. There’s no way we should be seeing such a “minor” defect appearing all across the country. I see them everywhere in my town. I like it though.
We have one at the intersection outside our neighborhood. My family actually prefers the purple light because it's not as harsh as the white ones and our purple light is just as bright as the white ones.
@@favoritemustard3542 actually no, there's still white lights around it so the bugs swarm to those light but once those start defecting, who knows what's happen to the bugs
Saw these on I-4 heading back toward Orlando from Daytona Beach a few months back. I liked the effect. Actually disappointed it’s just a defect that will be replaced.
I know the exact same ones your talking about. Serveral spots in Orlando have these. Wonder if they will actually get replaced or if it will just get overlooked like most things
@@RealJerb it probably won't be fixed. There are entire streets in tampa that have this issue and they don't care/can't keep up so, now we just have really cool purple lights.
I live in the suburbs of Chicago and there’s a whole street with all purple lights, maybe like 10 white ones through the whole Main Street. It’s so pretty to drive down at night.
I have some a little bit from my house- they light up the area pretty well, so I thought it was just something for people who have sensitivity issues (was definitely much nicer & easier on the eyes!). Hopefully they either replace them with similar colors, or keep them, because they actually light up well, and look nice!
If you mean the autistic awareness thing where people were turning things blue, it actually made things a lot worse. Autism Speaks ran the project and they're obsessed with blue. I haven't had a diagnosis, but I do have sensitivity issues and my autistic friends have also said it was a horrible decision and that changing the color to something so cold and rash on a whim was not as helpful as people thought.
@@shenniere I remember that- I actually mentioned it to my mom, about how having them blue was actually doing more harm then good. I'm pretty sure that the lights I'm remembering are purple, which may be a tad better than the blue (I've not heard anyone staristically confirm/deny yet), but I haven't been there in a while, so they might actually be blue. Hopefully purple though, or something not as harsh as that blue! I don't have visual sensory issues, but I do have eyesight problems, and driving at night with the harsh white or blue is god awful for me! I'd find completely dark roads better than lit up ones lol
And pretty soon you’ll light up like a glow stick underneath one of those lights… because of the vaccine! Yay ! How exciting! Do some research on what what’s in the vaccine that these black lights come in handy for. Then checkout what long term exposure to black light does to you. What fun!
@@shenniere It also doesn’t help that Autism Speaks is actually a hate group posing as a charity. They donate barely 4% of their proceeds towards actual autistic people and they also beilive that autism is somthing to be ‘cured’. They have also been caught donating to anti-lifers and antivaxxers because they think autism is somthing that should be ‘bred out’. They also continue the mindset that parents of autistic children have ‘lost their children to a disease.’ So yeah, FUCK autism Speaks.

Driving to Orlando at 4:30 in the morning, I was taken by surprise when I came upon a section of I-4 that looked like something straight out of an 80’s movie lol. There were a solid mile of these lights, probably over a hundred in all. It was surreal. Kind of pleasant, actually.
Yep, I know the exact section of lights your talking about. I always assumed they just ordered a very high color temp on the LEDs (like a 12k) because they dont look "bad" per say. They just aren't very bright. I'm curious if they will actually do anything about them tho, knowing how little they actually care about the I-4.
If you are talking about the Daytona to Sanford section the company I work for installed all those lights. I can’t say for other areas but we just won a new contract to go back and replace all the lights it’s over 600 of them. The manufacturer is in some deep financial shit over this if all areas do the same.
That is a straight out lie from that company, then. Where I live in California, they replaced all the street lights in the grocery store parking lot to these purple ones. Now the purple is starting to pop up everywhere. I saw them being installed, lol. Why lie?
Yeah, I thought I heard elsewhere (probably from TikTok, so not a verifiable source either) that these weird lights have a crime-reducing effect bc of their unique and bewildering quality. Putting them in grocery store parking lots makes sense if the area is prone to muggings/theft. This could also be total BS tho lol
Weirdly, I found when driving on wet pavement, the purple light helped quite a bit more than the white light (especially when staying in between the white lane markers).
This happened to some TV backlights also, so some people have been left with TVs that now have blue/purple tint splotches across the picture as each diode fails.
Not that I recall. I just like how they're shaped like Hershey Kisses because I like candy. So, when I saw street lights, my first thought was of the ones in Hershey and how much I like Hershey candies, especially Reese's Pieces.
Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet
They are NOT changing color…they are NOT yellow lights going going out! They are brand new and they’re purple. I think they’re once again up to no good!
Yeah, they replaced all the old, yellowish bulbs in my neighborhood recently with led's. Most are white, but there are a few on each street that are blue/purplish colored. My adult daughter mentioned something about the purple led's being some sort of crime deterrent ??? Not sure where she got the info from, but they've done similar in her neighborhood, the next town over. Maybe it's just my neighborhood (it's def not the best), but the areas with those purple lights around here just look creepy. It certainly makes me wanna stay away, so maybe they work that way ??? Who knows?
It was intentional ..whats funny is they planned another response for this but they're distractions are working soo well sruffnis skating under the radar lol you hear nothing..if you don't think these things are planned Kyle Rittenhouse trial was scheduled the same time as g maxwell ... who was the news focused on that was all show as a distraction ..this crap...they don't even need to use there distraction peoples attention span is like a peko second...
@@Kimi_Khaos White LEDs are actually UV/Purple LEDs with a phosphor coating that converts the UV into white light. The same way the old fluorescent tube lights worked (they had that white powder inside) So what's happening here is the phosphor is decaying and then the UV light is not being efficiently converted. Simple as that. Manufacturing defect.
@@Kimi_Khaos Yeah they come in many color temps. The higher the temp the more intense blue/white you will see. I think they go up to 5500 kelvin which is like the color of a welding arch. I really don’t like LEDs for streetlighting in general
@@Lunar_Capital Same, the LEDs are just too harsh for my eyes and I have issues seeing pretty much any blue/purple lights, in general, including Christmas lights and the like (not sure if that's a common thing or just my bad eyes/light sensitivity). There's no doubt they're brighter, but I prefer warm light, personally.
Me: Seeing them suddenly at Halloween, assumed my city was trying to be festive. Why would I assume Springfield would even get off their lazy asses for that when they can't even salt their roads
I hope that they don’t change it back, it’s awesome. I was a half hour or so away from home and there was a whole district with purple lights. Ironically, I got caught in a rain storm then and Purple Rain played on the radio.
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.
I'm sure this is the case. What I find interesting is, for someone like myself who notices when something is amiss or out of place, here in South Texas, LED street lights have been up for several years. 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.
There’s a block near my apartment in Winnipeg where the whole block is purple, it’s just outside downtown so makes it look trippy and sketchy in a weird way
@@semmurray9805 How does a purple light help them see who is vaccinated? What would the light be detecting? COVID antibodies? A special substance put into the vaccine? Is that substance in all COVID vaccines? How would they ensure whatever the marker is doesn't show up naturally or from other sources? It doesn't make any sense but please if it makes sense to you elaborate on your theory so I can understand.
@@thugpug4392 There is no elaborating on the different kinds or sorts of technology that may exists somewhere in the world. There has been a lot of talk about this and that there may be some sort of technology in this vaccine that may react strangely or weirdly to different lights or rays.

I love it when a city's smart managers decides to make different street lights on intersections different than street lights along the road so drivers can see when a cross street is coming ahead.

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.
Yeah, lol in Cherokee N.C. we got a similar story that it was a "defect," but now it's a couple years later and apparently someone liked them, because all but a handful have been changed over to purple here. You never know man, but it's above me pay grade to contemplate such things.

They should install different colored street lights in random parts of the US and make it a scavenger hunt.

No. There's too many germs out there coronaviruses and covid-19 there's a pandemic and millions upon millions are dying we already have a housing crisis what are you going to do when there are so many more homes up for sale because people died due to a pandemic and no one to buy them because the rest of us are poor? Now I know what you're thinking if you just turn off the TV the pandemic goes away but I say no you would clearly see lots of death around you not just in the hospitals. That ends my RUclips Ted talk thank you for attending the comment sections.
@@graciegjj Wow, nice job at judging my character based off an idea that 1) Can wait until the end of the pandemic 2) Not a lot of people would be interested in and 3) Even if they are interested, they can view it all from the safety of their car as they are passing

"Small amount"
There's a highway/bridge type road that connects two towns where I live. 90% of the lights are like this and there's easily 100+ lights on this stretch of road 😅
I had no idea what the reason was so thank you for this video.
Do you live in Milwaukee because I think I know the place you are talking about
“Small amount” likely refers to number of batches effected. And the local department of transportation probably bought them all at once from the same batch. Also consider how many units this company likely produces. Small amount is compared to their overall output
Yeah I think it’s 90% of all bulbs made. There’s no way we should be seeing such a “minor” defect appearing all across the country. I see them everywhere in my town. I like it though.
Imagine a company of specialized people not thinking of this in advance

I have some a little bit from my house- they light up the area pretty well, so I thought it was just something for people who have sensitivity issues (was definitely much nicer & easier on the eyes!). Hopefully they either replace them with similar colors, or keep them, because they actually light up well, and look nice!
If you mean the autistic awareness thing where people were turning things blue, it actually made things a lot worse. Autism Speaks ran the project and they're obsessed with blue. I haven't had a diagnosis, but I do have sensitivity issues and my autistic friends have also said it was a horrible decision and that changing the color to something so cold and rash on a whim was not as helpful as people thought.
@@shenniere I remember that- I actually mentioned it to my mom, about how having them blue was actually doing more harm then good. I'm pretty sure that the lights I'm remembering are purple, which may be a tad better than the blue (I've not heard anyone staristically confirm/deny yet), but I haven't been there in a while, so they might actually be blue. Hopefully purple though, or something not as harsh as that blue! I don't have visual sensory issues, but I do have eyesight problems, and driving at night with the harsh white or blue is god awful for me! I'd find completely dark roads better than lit up ones lol
And pretty soon you’ll light up like a glow stick underneath one of those lights… because of the vaccine! Yay ! How exciting! Do some research on what what’s in the vaccine that these black lights come in handy for. Then checkout what long term exposure to black light does to you. What fun!
@@GRACE-lw4zq bruh nobody was talking abt the vaccine, why u trying to start shit 😐
@@shenniere It also doesn’t help that Autism Speaks is actually a hate group posing as a charity. They donate barely 4% of their proceeds towards actual autistic people and they also beilive that autism is somthing to be ‘cured’. They have also been caught donating to anti-lifers and antivaxxers because they think autism is somthing that should be ‘bred out’. They also continue the mindset that parents of autistic children have ‘lost their children to a disease.’ So yeah, FUCK autism Speaks.
IDK... I LOVE the purple lights.
I mean, Mace Windu was my fave Jedi!
They're so much easier on the eyes...
A 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
Simple, it's just a advertisement of Dying Light 2 😂

Hey, thanks for the Manitoba Shout out! Pretty rare to hear our prairie province be mentioned outside of Canada. Cheers.
Manitoba: purple lights are everywhere. Combined with the snow, looks like a neat night club when snows hard at night:)
Driving to Orlando at 4:30 in the morning, I was taken by surprise when I came upon a section of I-4 that looked like something straight out of an 80’s movie lol. There were a solid mile of these lights, probably over a hundred in all. It was surreal. Kind of pleasant, actually.
Yep, I know the exact section of lights your talking about. I always assumed they just ordered a very high color temp on the LEDs (like a 12k) because they dont look "bad" per say. They just aren't very bright.
I'm curious if they will actually do anything about them tho, knowing how little they actually care about the I-4.
I pictured the same exact row of lights on I4 when I saw this vid. Small world!
If you are talking about the Daytona to Sanford section the company I work for installed all those lights. I can’t say for other areas but we just won a new contract to go back and replace all the lights it’s over 600 of them. The manufacturer is in some deep financial shit over this if all areas do the same.
That is a straight out lie from that company, then. Where I live in California, they replaced all the street lights in the grocery store parking lot to these purple ones. Now the purple is starting to pop up everywhere. I saw them being installed, lol. Why lie?
To keep the masses from believing the "conspiracy nuts" who are literally trying to warn people. This video and the lights are entirely intentional
Excellent question! Best way to see the vaccinated.
@@stompthatazz3967 Exactly, look into Gematria if you haven’t already
Yeah, I thought I heard elsewhere (probably from TikTok, so not a verifiable source either) that these weird lights have a crime-reducing effect bc of their unique and bewildering quality. Putting them in grocery store parking lots makes sense if the area is prone to muggings/theft. This could also be total BS tho lol
This!!! The lights are purple to discourage loitering. The company is definitely bullshitting
Weirdly, I found when driving on wet pavement, the purple light helped quite a bit more than the white light (especially when staying in between the white lane markers).
Can confirm! Central florida has the purple lights
As does Bham, Al.
“It’s just a defect- c’mon, man!”
🤣😂🤣😂👍
ikr it cant be a defect
This happened to some TV backlights also, so some people have been left with TVs that now have blue/purple tint splotches across the picture as each diode fails.
I forgot about that!
The best are the Hershey Kiss shaped street lights in Hershey, PA!
Those are purple??
Not that I recall. I just like how they're shaped like Hershey Kisses because I like candy. So, when I saw street lights, my first thought was of the ones in Hershey and how much I like Hershey candies, especially Reese's Pieces.
I actually like these purple lights. They break up the monotony of normal lights and make me pay attention.

A lot of different explanations for these lights. You're saying it's a defect, others say it is intentional
Yeah, they replaced all the old, yellowish bulbs in my neighborhood recently with led's. Most are white, but there are a few on each street that are blue/purplish colored. My adult daughter mentioned something about the purple led's being some sort of crime deterrent ??? Not sure where she got the info from, but they've done similar in her neighborhood, the next town over. Maybe it's just my neighborhood (it's def not the best), but the areas with those purple lights around here just look creepy. It certainly makes me wanna stay away, so maybe they work that way ??? Who knows?
It was intentional ..whats funny is they planned another response for this but they're distractions are working soo well sruffnis skating under the radar lol you hear nothing..if you don't think these things are planned Kyle Rittenhouse trial was scheduled the same time as g maxwell ... who was the news focused on that was all show as a distraction ..this crap...they don't even need to use there distraction peoples attention span is like a peko second...
@@Kimi_Khaos White LEDs are actually UV/Purple LEDs with a phosphor coating that converts the UV into white light. The same way the old fluorescent tube lights worked (they had that white powder inside)
So what's happening here is the phosphor is decaying and then the UV light is not being efficiently converted. Simple as that. Manufacturing defect.
@@Kimi_Khaos
Yeah they come in many color temps. The higher the temp the more intense blue/white you will see. I think they go up to 5500 kelvin which is like the color of a welding arch. I really don’t like LEDs for streetlighting in general
@@Lunar_Capital Same, the LEDs are just too harsh for my eyes and I have issues seeing pretty much any blue/purple lights, in general, including Christmas lights and the like (not sure if that's a common thing or just my bad eyes/light sensitivity). There's no doubt they're brighter, but I prefer warm light, personally.

I hope that they don’t change it back, it’s awesome. I was a half hour or so away from home and there was a whole district with purple lights. Ironically, I got caught in a rain storm then and Purple Rain played on the radio.
I’m fine with this, looks awesome
I actually like the purple lights. I find it more calming, and helps relax my nerves when driving
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.
I'm sure this is the case. What I find interesting is, for someone like myself who notices when something is amiss or out of place, here in South Texas, LED street lights have been up for several years. 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.
There’s a block near my apartment in Winnipeg where the whole block is purple, it’s just outside downtown so makes it look trippy and sketchy in a weird way
I DON'T WANT THEM PUTTIN' CHEMICALS IN THE LIGHTS THAT TURN THE FRICKIN' LIGHTS PURPLE!!!
That's not how it works
I'm on the highway in Orlando right now and I just passed a solid mile of just purple street lights, very surreal looking.

My first thought was they were installing blacklights to look for car germs, but your explanation makes more sense.

@@semmurray9805 How does a purple light help them see who is vaccinated? What would the light be detecting? COVID antibodies? A special substance put into the vaccine?

It doesn't make any sense but please if it makes sense to you elaborate on your theory so I can understand.
@@thugpug4392 There is no elaborating on the different kinds or sorts of technology that may exists somewhere in the world. There has been a lot of talk about this and that there may be some sort of technology in this vaccine that may react strangely or weirdly to different lights or rays.

There's a few here in NC I see occasionally and I always just assumed it was to make drivers think there are cops around with their lights on
It’s to stop people from injecting drugs you can’t see your veins with that light
I love it when a city's smart managers decides to make different street lights on intersections different than street lights along the road so drivers can see when a cross street is coming ahead.

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.
So basically drivers are being pelted with artificial sun radiation, I mean it’s a good antibacterial car wash in the middle of the night 😂
