Which is better, LED traffic lights or regular traffic lights?
Traffic signals are actually the traffic lights we usually see on highways and roads. Traffic lights are internationally unified traffic signals. Among them, the red light is a stop signal, and the green light is a go signal. It can be said to be a silent "traffic police officer". However, due to different applications, traffic signals have many classifications. For example, when classified according to the light source, they can be mainly divided into two types: LED traffic signals and ordinary traffic signals. So, which is better, LED traffic signals or ordinary traffic signals?
LED Traffic Signals:
LED traffic signals are a type of signal lights that use LED as the light source. They are generally composed of multiple LED light emitters. The design of the pattern lights can, through adjusting the layout, enable the LED to form various patterns. Moreover, different colors and signals can be integrated into one unit, allowing more traffic information to be conveyed and more traffic schemes to be configured within the same light body space. In addition, since the radiation spectrum of LED lights is narrow and they have good monochromaticity without the need of a filter, almost all the light emitted by the LED light source can be utilized. This makes the rigid traffic signals more humanized and vivid, which is difficult to achieve with traditional light sources.
Ordinary Traffic Signal Lights
Ordinary traffic signal lights refer to the traditional light - source signal lights in common parlance. The most commonly used light sources in traditional light - source signal lights are incandescent lamps and halogen lamps. Although incandescent lamps and halogen lamps are characterized by low price and simple circuit, they also have drawbacks such as low luminous efficiency, short lifespan, and the thermal effect they produce can affect the polymer materials used to make the lamps. Moreover, there is the trouble of replacing the bulbs, and the maintenance cost is relatively high.
From the above introduction, it can be seen that compared with ordinary traffic signal lights, LED traffic signal lights have significantly better effects. Ordinary traffic signal lights are now rarely used because they have disadvantages such as high power consumption and being prone to damage. On the other hand, LED traffic signal lights not only have the characteristics of high brightness, long lifespan, and power saving, but also their red, green, and yellow colors have high purity. Combined with a single - chip microcomputer, they can be easily made into animations (such as the actions of pedestrians crossing the street, etc.). Therefore, most traffic signal lights nowadays are made of LED.
