No, those purple street lights you might've seen driving around Fort Worth aren't supposed to be that color, city says.
The city of Fort Worth has identified 1,100 defective LED lights so far and expects more to come.
"As time progresses, we started to notice even more than when we first did the assessment,” Callicoat said. “Just in the last couple of weeks with the weather being what it was, I've noticed ones not showing any signs are starting to show signs."“We are not the only lighting manufacturer that has experienced this issue, said Cathy Lewandowski with Acuity Brands."This light output is in no way harmful or unsafe.
"It's just an inconvenience and sort of an eyesore sometimes,” Callicoat said. “There's a lot of people that like them. We've had citizens reach out to us and say they want to do a petition to keep them." Although some may be passionate about the purple, they all will be getting repaired. An estimate from the city this past week said it could take three to four months.
