My city eventually replaced them all, but for a while it was real sweet pretending my small midwestern city was a cyberpunk nightscape

Film Noir affect.

i just saw this for the first time two days ago on Hayden Island!

Hue would’ve suspected that? 😁

Whenever my 4yo daughter and I come across one we shout out "purple light!" I'm bummed that they are slowly getting replaced. Fingers crossed that future bulbs have the same flaw.

And here I was thinking the city administrator bought the wrong bulbs

People still think this is some weird conspiracy too.

Paired with the fact that LEDs dim over their lifespan, we got us some mood lighting in our infrastructure

There are some places in the Chicago suburbs where it happened to a bunch of lights more or less at the same time. I spent a while trying to figure out why the roads department would install purple lights, it looked deliberate.
