"Brooks says the purple light is caused by the wearing off of a yellow-laminate coating on the exteriors of the light bulbs—which is responsible for turning the bluish-purple hues white. Brooks notes that the lights weren’t installed as purple, and that the change happens gradually over time."
Interesting. This could be a workaround to make the lights cheaper to manufacture. Powerful LEDs need big heat sinks, so what if skewing them blue makes them run cooler and not need as much in the way of cooling? I'm speculating, so maybe is IT a conspiracy.
I've seen one change from white to purple in real time. Happened instantly, and also seen one do this and then switch back to white, and one that went to purple and then turned off completely
