I just finished listening to "Car Talk" on National Public Radio (on Sirius satellite) and this week's riddle is, basically, "what is the problem with these new LED traffic lights" ?
The Tappet bros. touched on all the advantages of LED traffic lights; though the initial cost and installation is expensive, they are cheaper to run in the long run due to extended lifetime and lower energy consumption, they are brighter than incans, and even if a few LEDs do burn out the traffic light still functions, unlike the incan..all seemingly a win/win situatin -- yet the question remains; what is the one drawback or problem with LED traffic lights when compared with incans?
