Streetlights Are Mysteriously Turning Purple. Here’s Why

“Newly purple streetlights might seem innocuous, but they could affect driver and pedestrian safety”

(more)

This happened in Juneau a couple of years ago. The State DOT replaced all the light bulbs on our only “Expressway”for about 10 miles with LED bulbs to reduce costs and energy use. About 80% of the new bulbs gave out a purple light. Purple light does not light up a roadway at all. The State sued the manufacture and got new light bulbs with clear light.
This took about a year and a half to get the replacements.

The manufacture must have sent the old, replaced bulbs elsewhere.
