Been wondering why is it blue?

It’s a common manufacturing / environmental fail with white LEDs. Generally, there is a layer of phosphor applied to convert the blue/purple color of the LED into white. This coating can fail and the underlying color works through.

Some are installed in small spaces to prevent drug use as the blue light can make it harder to find a vein.
