Okay, sharing my experience. I have this implement in some other languages too it works superb. For you I just created a javascript version with an example so you try this:

var camelCase = "LightPurple";
var tmp = camelCase[0];
for (i = 1; i < camelCase.length; i++)
{
    var hasNextCap = false;
    var hasPrevCap = false;

    var charValue = camelCase.charCodeAt(i);
    if (charValue > 64 && charValue < 91)
    {
        if (camelCase.length > i + 1)
        {
            var next_charValue = camelCase.charCodeAt(i + 1);
            if (next_charValue > 64 && next_charValue < 91)
                hasNextCap = true;
        }

        if (i - 1 > -1)
        {
            var prev_charValue =  camelCase.charCodeAt(i - 1);
            if (prev_charValue > 64 && prev_charValue < 91)
                hasPrevCap = true;
        }


        if (i < camelCase.length-1 &&
            (!(hasNextCap && hasPrevCap || hasPrevCap)
            || (hasPrevCap && !hasNextCap)))
            tmp += " ";
    }
    tmp += camelCase[i];
}

Here is the demo.
