Why Are Streetlights Turning Purple?!

Ever noticed streetlights glowing purple instead of white? Turns out, it’s not a new city vibe—it's a weird LED glitch! The yellow coating on some LEDs is breaking down, letting the blue light shine through and giving us that eerie lavender glow. It’s happened in over 30 states and even in Canada and Ireland. While it looks cool, it can mess with visibility and safety. Manufacturers are swapping out the faulty lights, but it’s wild how a tiny tech flaw can change the whole nighttime vibe! #Streetlights #LEDs #TechFail #Transportation

I was told that it's designed to make homeless people irritated and uncomfortable. So they would leave the area. In addition to making the area unfavorable. It makes it difficult for intravenous addicts to find a vein. Since our circulatory system has blue veins as well red. Red is already hard to locate. Intravenous addicts rely on the oxygen deprived veins. this means it will travel to the heart and lungs before the brain. Had they done it via red vein, there's a good chance of death. Good chance of death no matter how drugs are done. Might as well put a gun to your head. It's no difference from playing Russian Roulette.

it is less visible from higher altitudes and is a piece of a defense initiative to protect civilian areas from high altitude weapons and renaissance satellites.
