Well what do you know. If I put my name here, I do not have to sign it everytime.

Okay thanks.
What brand are these? Used a lot around central VA

You can't see the pattern except for up close.

Okay, thanks again. Sorry for all the questions... after this, I only have one more to ask about (but I need pictures)


These ped signal lenses have the same marking (the circle w/ dot) as the TCT signal they're in. Did TCT make their own LED inserts?

Here's another. It too has a circle w/ dot on it, but with a smaller dot than the ped lenses. What brand is it?

To me, that circle/dot thing would just be a mold mark from the plastic extrusion process used in their manufacture -- not a 'brand marking'...? :scratch: :scratch:

Thats correct. Its the part of the machine where the screw injects the plastic into the molds.

When the part is removed that dot is actually a rod of excess plastic that is trimmed off.

The back of poly signals have the same mark.

That reminds me of the Western Cullen Hayes Second Generation LED lights that are used in crossing signals. The main difference is that the dot doesn't have that little circle around it and there are some more LEDs around the center.
I am a railfan, signalfan, and I'm interested in tornado sirens. I hope to learn new things about traffic lights because I'm interested in them and don't know much about them.

Alright. That countdown sure is ugly, though. I thought some of the LEDs were broken, at first, but it's just the way it is:






Okay, final round (for now) of LED questions:

#1 The arrows in this signal:

#2 Both arrows & yellow balls in these signals:

Thanks!

The arrows in the 3 section are coopers i think..

The yellow ball is an older GE
