LED Traffic Signals

Featuresand Benefits ListingLow Power ConsumptionLong Life (100,000 hours / 11 years)High BrightnessMaintenance FreeHigh ReliabilityWeather ResistantConforms to ITE / CALTRAN SpecificationsRetrofits to existing signal housingLED traffic signals are among the bestpossible investment a department of transportation can make. Theirultra low power consumption and sturdy construction providesmaintenance free operation for years. State-of-the-art LED dietechnology gives the Sunbrite traffic signal a bright, crisp anduniform light output that is sure tostop traffic.The LED traffic signal is likened to an investment because of thehigh principal investment required; however, at a power consumptionunder 10W the electrical operation cost savings alone pay for thesignal in under 1 year of use. That saving continues into thesequential years of operation.A cost savings in maintenance is also realized with the LEDtraffic light. The Sunbrite signal features a 5-year warranty foroperation. There is no replacing the LED traffic signal for years,unlike the typical 9-12 months for incandescent signals.Durability and sturdy construction make the LED traffic signalweather and vibration resistant. Each LED is encapsulated in epoxy,and is shock resistant. A single LED failure means only a negligibleloss to the entire unit light output. The LED traffic signal isa reliable choice.Switching to the LED traffic signal is easy. The Sunbrite unit isdesigned to retrofit to existing signal housings, and attaches tothe same 120 VAC power that already exists.With automobile traffic safety is always a key issue. Failedsignal lights can potentially cause accidents resulting in injury ordeath of motorists. A local DOT could potentially be held liable forthese damages. Converting to the reliable LED traffic signal helpsto reduce risk and liability issues.LED traffic signals, which use solid state technology, havequicker response or "on time" when the signal switches onand off. Compared to incandescent lights, which have switching timesmeasuring in milliseconds, LED signals have switching speeds in themicroseconds. This relays the information to the motorist quicker,further reducing risk and safety issues.
