LEDs are casting spooky glow over some suburban roads, including in SchaumburgIL and MountProspect. Is that bad?
Instead, the violet hue seen lately over some suburban neighborhoods is the result of a defective model of LED light fixture that's found its way into streetlights across North America.
A nationwide manufacturing defect of some LED bulbs is causing the phosphor coating to delaminate from the LED, resulting in the light changing to a blue or purple hue, Schaumburg Communications Director Allison Albrecht said. Similar sights have been reported in Mount Prospect, downstate Springfield, Wisconsin, North Carolina, California, Vancouver, Canada, and even Ireland.Mount Prospect Public Works Director Sean Dorsey said the phenomenon has struck some streetlights near Randhurst Village shopping center, but most LED fixtures in the village have been operating problem-free for up to 13 years so far, he said. The village has replaced nearly all its older sodium streetlights with LED fixtures.
