Here's a quote from one of Lumiled's datasheets (AB25 Luxeon Reliability)
"Since the Luxeon High-Power Light Source was introduced
in 1998, it has been used in over 1 million traffic signals,
each traffic signal using 12 to 18 Luxeon emitters, which
have been installed in traffic intersections around the world.
These traffic signal heads are operating continuously 24
hours a day, seven days a week...."
Around here many LED traffic lights are popping up all over the place. So are there really places that are using traffic lights made with Luxeons? I thought they were all just simliar to these. The ones around here don't seem like they are Luxeon based but then again I never really paid attentioned to them.
After all I have seen some Luxeon assys. that were said to be once part of traffic light sold on e-bay. There are some up for auction right now, here & here.
