It's actually not something covert. It's a manufacturing quality problem wherein components fail and the units have to be replaced with better quality devices. However this purple light problem is real and is widespread in some communities.
If it hurts, the lamps may be putting out a lot of ultraviolet. Here's a test: have something that is fluorescent orange. If it appears bright orange at night under the lamp, that's a sure sign this is an LED lamp whose internal phosphor has failed and it lets dangerous UV from the diodes out. (UV causes fluorescent materials to glow and actually emit light.)
A white light LED works like this: the LED actually puts out ultraviolet at the core. The LED converts that to white light by having a phosphor coating around the emitter to do that, they operate just like a standard fluorescent tube light. In the street lights with a manufacturing defect, the coating degrades and lets purple and UV out. And that damages eyes.
This may be topnotch Chinese LED quality here, where they are shoddy just to save a penny.
If the light hurts your eyes at night, blueblocker glasses can stop the UV. They will look clear for ordinary light but they block UV wavelengths. Might be useful for a cop on night patrol.
I am a reef keeping nerd, and know the capabilities of UV especially from LED format. Trust me bruh.....those little diodes from ALL the way 10" feet above our heads is NOT enough UV to do shit. For instance the UV in a reef tank gets dilluted by the time it hits the sand bed in most 14" aquariums. The purple especially. Thbere is t-5 bulbs tho.....these flourescent bulbs and metal halides, used to put out mega fuck tons of UV. Especially the halides. Which WERE the old street lights lol. :D:D:D:D
This is especially concerning since you really can no longer purchase indecent lights. This older technology leaked into the infrared which we tolerate well. This new technology leaks into the toxic UV band
Household LEDs are of less concern because their power levels are far lower than street lights, hence home bulbs don't degrade to leak UV as fast. Street lights run so hot that they need heat sinks for the LED arrays. When they get really hot, over time it breaks down their phosphors. Home LED bulbs not so much, at least.
Humans can't see UV but your eyes can be damaged by it.
For LEDs putting out UV, we can also see nearby wavelengths which get pumped out too, so seeing purple in this LED case means there is some UV.
A conclusive test is when dyes that are daylight fluorescent are glowing in a light source, it is putting out UV. Another test is that many washing detergents have brighteners in them, and if your shirt glows a bit bluish under a purple streetlight, that is a sign the detergent residue is reacting to UV hence there IS UV.
Yes. White light LEDs use the same principle as fluorescent tubes; all fluorescent tubes are UV emitters inside and white phosphor outside.
The white light phosphor for LEDs can vary in emitted wavelengths by using slightly different compounds plus dye filters, but all the phosphors put out narrow bands unlike tungsten incandescents; hot tungsten puts out a broad spectrum somewhat like nature sunlight which our eyes like. LEDs suck due to the narrow wavelength range output.
UV LEDs are bad for eye health and they will damage the cornea and lens. Anyone working where these are used will get cataracts earlier in life. Beware.
The guy is mostly correct on the cause, degradation of the phosphor (not phosphate though). But he's wrong in that the degradation doesn't turn the LED itself to UV - that is fixed forever by quantum mechanics factors. See #3 below.
ALL white light LEDs start with a UV LED emitter - we do not know how to make LEDs that emit white light themselves. It's a quantum mechanics thing, there is no band gap that gives out pure white light. In other words, the base LED for white light is actually always designed as a UV emitter. That part never changes. (red, green yellow LEDs are different, they give out RGY light from the start, they have no phosphor. Blue LEDs are kind of mutants and close to UV.)
If you look at many LED lights you will see that the unlit COB LED looks yellowish. That is because there are two coatings on the LED itself. One is the bottom layer over the LED chip; it is a light emitter that takes in UV and outputs white light; the top coating over it is yellow to filter out any UV that passes through. In the shitty Chinese LEDs, they make them with bad chemistry for the top layer and it degrades because any UV leakage actually destroys the yellow dye compound over time.
Interesting read, whats more interesting to me is that this subject has been brought up a few times, its the first time I remember you saying that you work for a led street lighting technology supply company.
I might actually believe you, if this hadnt been going on since at least 2018. While this blog claims 2016, I cant find proof of that. Other than some experiments done overseas. This was a topic that came up many times over the years there in r/conspiracy..... before the sub became pure trash.
I'm okay with your inquisitive perspective, so ask away if you have questions. I do not lie nor bullshit, so it's okay to ask for documentation or verification. I am real.
I do contract engineering and have consulted at about 100 companies in a wide range of fields. This gives me an unusually broad perspective and knowledge background. I work for many companies and apply my background in physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and computer design. I worked for NASA and aerospace companies. I'm kind of a black swan.
One company was Exclara, an LED lighting company. They made power supplies for LED street lighting. Since then I've consulted at a company that does quantum mechanics modeling for semiconductors (such as LEDs) and for chip manufacturers. So that's where I get my knowledge of factors in the purple street lights.
I don't understand the logic at all; a light wouldn't have a code for the protein it affects... thats the dumbest leap of logic I've ever seen....
It doesn't mention why lights turn UV- they're UV diodes that cause a Phosphorus layer to emit white light. The layer wears away- perhaps quality control issue and planned obsolesence... Else I figured the cameras were for scanning retinas or vaccination status because of that quantum dot tattoo for nano patch vaccines...ect
Instead it went the flat earth route... is conspiracy muddied this much just to make everyone look stupid?
Well in theory this would be why https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-17836-8
That protein if and it's a big if that's what the number means if it can be controlled with light then the light could control your neurons. I am not sure if it can be controlled with light but there are some that can be. Worth investigating at least if any florescent proteins were in the shots.
Why does 9/11 refer to the date of an event rather than anything actually connected to it?
Why did you chose that username "DojaDog"? Are you a dog?
It's because names are chosen because of what they connect to. It helps anyone working with it to not mistake it with another object, lamp in that case.

also the light hurts my eyes; it would be better not being there at all.

Aside from the fact the light is completely purple and looks like a black light...

Oh yeah the light was meant to be be purple!
It's a white light that doesn't look white- which uses UV leds because the UV reacts and creates white light on the phos layer...
The light looks like a black light...

IE like this.
That shit makes it hard to see; the contrast; or the wavelength of the light makes it highly unpleasant.
Yes. White light LEDs use the same principle as fluorescent tubes; all fluorescent tubes are UV emitters inside and white phosphor outside.

You actually think damaged lights begin to emit UV light?
Give me one example of your absurd statement, please. One. Single. Example.
Please.
I actually have some respect for you, so I will not give a snarky reply. Here's my background and indeed, one example:

Why does covid-19 has a 19 at the end?

It's because names are chosen because of what they connect to. It helps anyone working with it to not mistake it with another object, lamp in that case.
