Nice! I want to start collecting a small amount of traffic lights.

[minpin88]

Can you get more of the "STOP" lights?

[cjkline83]

Very cool. Could you post a vid about the controller you're using? I'm fascinated with traffic signals and would like to learn more about controllers and how they are programmed. Thanks!

[ASHKETCHUM999]

Does the white 'walk signal' ever come on?

[trafficlightguy]

yeah it does. It's wired to a user activated push button

[kjchicago1]

@trafficlightguy Now, that's a real traffic light collection! Where'd you get those traffic signals from?

[dahood07]

where do you buy the traffic lights

[Nathans91]

Try ebay.

[DrSurprise]

ebay! of course! why didnt i think of that!

[trafficlightguy]

You're right! Ebay for most and I have a friend with the state DOT that calls me when an intersection gets upgraded so I get to pick some that I want and unfortunately the rest go to the scrapyard

[DrSurprise]

but isnt powering them a bit of work?

[trafficlightguy]

Wiring everything was time consuming. As far as power usage goes there is only one indication on at a time and I use 25 watt bulbs so its almost equivalent to using 3 60 watt bulbs

[JZX100Chaser]

thats kind of cool---how much did those cost before you bought them?

[trafficlightguy]

I really haven't researched the new cost. Used they were acquired anywhere from $10 to $200 apiece.
