What is the deal with these awful purple street lights?

Submitted by blp_fz1 t3_y6ssgr in baltimore

I've seen these around the city in other neighborhoods in the city and recently a light in my neighborhood got one of these purple bulbs. They are hardly bright enough to see anything and they make everything they illuminate look very strange. What is the deal with these things?

A recent discussion on them. They’re a manufacturer error and are supposed to be reported to BGE

Wow. I didn't know that at all. There's one near my home. I thought it was some stupid Ravens thing.

Oh dang, interesting! Thanks. Can I just call BGE to report one?

Interesting. The one in question looks like it's been reported as faulty but I think it recently got replaced with the purple bulb so it needs to be reported again? Or maybe someone already beat me to reporting it. Anyway, thanks, this info is super helpful
