And the incandescent bulbs provide needed heat in the winter. A couple of cities have discovered that the LED bulbs in their traffic lights do not warm the glass covers and thus do not melt the ice that coats them in winter storms. Ice over the traffic lights means that they are covered so that drivers cannot see them.
I don’t care if folks use incandescent, florescent or LED bulbs, what I object to is the Congress taking the choice away from me by banning them for what it “thinks” is a better choice. Besides, I’m afraid of getting led poisoning from those LED lights. ;)
If true, I suspect the solution(s) will be much more expensive than just using incandescent lights. That doesn't even include the initial cost to change the lights out to LED bulbs.
