Why So Many Street Lights Are Currently Purple

[@iammrbeat]

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.

[@Fight2Survive559]

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]

@@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.

[@timh36]

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 😉

@@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.

[@Lunar_Capital]

@@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

[@Kimi_Khaos]

@@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).

[@rolixzs]

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.

[@Finaltouchone1]

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.
