Comparison of LED traffic lights and ordinary traffic lights

Traffic lights, in fact, are the traffic lights that are usually seen on highways and roads. Traffic lights are internationally unified traffic lights, in which red lights are stop signals and green lights are traffic signals. It can be said to be a silent “traffic policeman”. However, due to different applications, traffic lights also have many classifications. For example, according to the light source, they can be divided into LED traffic lights and ordinary traffic lights.

LED traffic lights

It is a signal light that uses LED as the light source. It is generally composed of multiple LED luminous bodies. The design of the pattern light can make the LED itself form various patterns by adjusting the layout, and can combine various colors and various The signal is integrated so that the same light body space can be given more traffic information and configure more traffic plans. Moreover, LED lights have narrow-band radiation spectrum, good monochromaticity, and no need for filters. Therefore, the light emitted by LED light sources can basically be used to make rigid traffic signals humanized and vivid. These are traditional light sources. unattainable.

Common traffic lights

In fact, it is commonly referred to as a traditional light source signal light. 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 low light efficiency, short life, and thermal effects that will affect the production of lamps. The polymer material has the influence and other shortcomings. Moreover, there is the trouble of replacing the bulb, and the maintenance cost is relatively high.

Compared with ordinary traffic lights, the effect of LED traffic lights is obviously better. Ordinary traffic lights are rarely used now because of their disadvantages such as high power consumption and easy damage. LED traffic lights not only have the characteristics of high brightness, long life, and power saving, but also have high purity of red, green, and yellow. Combined with a single-chip microcomputer, it is easy to make animation representations (such as the actions of pedestrians crossing the street, etc.), so most of the traffic lights are now made of LEDs.

The choice of LED traffic lights is undoubtedly considering that it is more energy-saving, environmentally friendly, quality, and price, but in the case of long-term use, it is also worn, and with some wrong operations, it is easy to damage the led traffic lights, so it is also necessary to understand The operation method and the second method of maintenance can exert a longer-term effect and have more operation time.

After buying back the lamps and lanterns, don’t rush to install them. You should read the installation instructions carefully, and then install the lamps according to the instructions, otherwise there may be dangers. Do not change the internal structure of the LED traffic signal light, and do not change the parts of the lamp at will. After maintenance, the traffic signal light should be installed as it is, and no missing or wrong parts of the lamps and lanterns should be installed.

When using traffic lights, try not to switch traffic lights frequently. Although the number of times LED traffic lights can withstand switching is about 18 times that of ordinary fluorescent lights, too frequent switching will still affect the life of electronic components inside LED traffic lights, and then affect the life of lamps. number. Try not to clean the LED traffic lights with water, just use a dry rag to wipe it with water, if you accidentally touch the water, try to dry it as much as possible, and do not wipe it with a wet rag immediately after turning on the light.

The interior of the LED traffic signal light is mainly driven by a power supply. It is recommended that non-professionals do not assemble it by themselves to avoid risks such as electric shock. Chemical agents such as polishing powder cannot be used on metal parts at will. The use of LED traffic lights is related to the safety of social traffic operation. We should not be greedy for cheap products and choose defective products. If a small loss makes a big difference, it will bring serious safety hazards to social safety and cause serious traffic accidents, then the loss outweighs the gain.
