the older ones [which i like ] has a lightbulb in it the new ones that they are replacing the old lightbulb have circle pads with little led's on them usually the led's blow out or malfunction and you would see black spots on the light which is kinda crappy when the lights turn on
I think the incandescent yellow light bulb mix with the blue and makes it very green when it's on. If the glass was green the light would be kinda yellow. This is a very random guess, I don't even know what I'm talking about.
Adonis Amarante I believe that's true, most lights have a yellow tint, which wouldn't affect the amber or red colors of a stop sign, but would effecr the green, they use blue so it mixes, I was looking for someone who thought this as well.
That's a good theory but it's not the reason. It's due to the large number of red/green colorblind people. Eight percent of men and half a percent of women have some type of color blindness. Having true red and true green on a traffic light could create a dangerous situation. Turquoise is used instead of green because red/green colorblind people can generally distinguish between the two.
It's a good theory but no. You don't want true green on traffic lights. With 8.5% of the population colorblind, it's important to shift the green to a turquoise color so that red/green colorblind drivers can distinguish between the lights.
Some areas (like Alberta, Canada) have the Traffic Lights mounted horizontally on not vertically. If a colour blind person has never seen that setup before, they would not know if the left or right light is red/green.
And that's precisely the reason this got a thumbs down. That light was pretty cool it doesn't need to be destroyed. I'm sure someone would have appreciated it in their rec room or in a kids bedroom.
ZERO 313 the shout out for shout out videos private account do and almost for every shout out they do for a scary account they use what's inside footage hence my comment
Actually 421Frickit, I don't know where you're from but your city council is wasting money. The vast majority of traffic signals are assembled using white LED circuit boards covered by a colored lens. Having three different colored circuit boards can be confusing as they all look the same without power running through them. So in the warehouse you could easily mix up red boards with yellow or green. But I say your city is wasting money because buying 900 white led circuit boards is usually cheaper due to bulk discounts than buying 300 green, 300 yellow, and 300 red.
A stop light would be just the red. You are right, the whole thing is called a traffic light. IE A light at a 4-way stop would be a stop light(It's just red no other colours.)
SD Scootz depending on where you come from, the use of the word "stop light" can mean the same thing as a traffic light, it's like how the word "cola" or "coke" can be used the same as the word soda or the word pop. You can say, I'd like a coke, and then the waiter might say, what flavor, which is when you tell them sprite
Most stop lights for the past 10 years have been LED in FL and many other states. It isn't just a LED bulb it's a bunch of LED behind the lense so if one goes out it still works and you wouldn't hardly notice that 1 LED isn't working.
Love your videos! I’m visiting my buddy in Utah this summer and I just realized I think you two live in the same area! Keep up the videos man they’re awesome!
That's actually VERY close to what they described. Remote controls use IR LEDs (Infrared). The trick is making the light flash fast enough and in the proper pattern. There are actually devices you can buy and install into your car to accomplish this. But they're highly illegal in the vast majority of municipalities.
the green light is bluey-green because a non-LED type bulb burns with a yellow-white light not a pure white light, so they tint the lens slightly blue to compensate providing a fully green colour upon illumination. (yellow+blue=green) this originally comes from old time flame-lit railway signals where the lens was even bluer than the ones on traffic lights to compensate further as a flame burns yellower still than a bulb.
Great video! I just restored a traffic light on my channel for my garage, I love that you have your son in your videos, lol. I can only get my daughter to do my intros.
Most traffic signal lights today are LED. The LED technology is used in all new signal heads and the older incandescent signal heads can be retrofitted with LED modules that usually requires removal of incandescent bulb, reflector unit and colored glass lens. A new LED unit roughly the same size as the old incandescent reflector unit is fitted into the door frame of the glass lens, then it is connected to power wires coming into signal head. One of the problems with the LED modules is they don’t give off as much heat as the incandescent signal heads which can cause problems on signal units in cold snowy areas because if the snow is falling hard enough, the signal lens can become covered in snow not allowing the signal to emit light.
Duncan Leahy those can go up to 10s of thousands of dollars. That's also a dumb idea becuase half of the expensive watches, you can already see how they work on the bottom of them and some on the top.
"640 L" refers to the number of lumens (brightness) the lightbulb is capable of. Fun fact: the bulbs inside red lights need to be brighter than the bulbs inside green and amber lights, because in order to get a pure red, the lens must have a very dark tint, otherwise the red light would look pink. So a brighter bulb has to be in the red light. At least that is the case with older incandescent traffic signals, the newer LED signals don't have this problem.
wiring and different electronics to be honest: mostly that and some nifty stuff for the motion controls and sensors, wouldnt look too fancy though. you would mostly get the same effect by cutting open a monitor or a TV.
@Kennys Boat and @dab boy Yellow is a warning to prepare. On it's own, it's warning you that it's about to change to red, so unless you're already committed to crossing the line, slow down be ready to stop for red. A yellow in combination with red tells you that it's about to change to green, so get ready to go. In the US this probably doesn't have much use since most cars in the US are automatics, but in other countries, it gives you a moment to get clutch bite and disengage the handbrake if you had it on.
