For portable traffic light systems, LED technology offers much greater reliability and lower power consumption than Incandescent lamps. Typically LED’s use 1/10th of the power, allowing the unit to run 10 times as long on the same battery charge. LEDs are solid state devices that do not have filaments to burn out or break. LEDs are very mechanically shock resistant. Signals made from LEDs include many individual lamps. If one lamp fails, the Signal can still function. LED signals have life expectancies of 5 20 years, while the best Incandescent bulbs only last two years.
