[quote:Anonymous Coward 75259371:MV80OTYzNTYxXzkwNzczMDQzXzlEN0Q1QUIy] [quote:Anonymous Coward 78139144:MV80OTYzNTYxXzkwNzcyOTU5X0QzREVERTA3] My 2 cents: I don't go out much at night. The only place I've seen the blue lights are along a dead-end road that leads to gated HOA's where the minimum price of a house is 700k and many are worth multi millions. Really heavy duty "important" peeps live in these 2 neighborhoods. Not all of the lights are blue. I haven't done a complete examination of the lights,but it seemed like they were spread out evenly - every other one. All the lights had been working,so there was no reason to replace them,in my opinion. They were replaced very recently and they were alternately aligned for some specific reason. [/quote] not to poke any holes in a fun theory, but like, the techs have a truck full of these lights in the back of the truck, they install them during the day, and put them up straight out of the box, on to the next one, no need to calibrate (unless someone complains) the ones they have replaced in town had all been working too, they get a contract, buy 1000 lights at time, the LED panels are super cheaper than the old bulbs, and use like 1 percent of the power to run. they aren't fixing broken lights, it's an energy/cost thing. they are also inherently network-enabled, i would bet in a crime scene/search situation they could crank up the brightness or mess with the color output (or maybe flip them into infra-red mode for night vision purposes) pure conjecture, but i think this is simply a matter of better/cheaper/more efficient [/quote]
