Hey Nice Find Gailgrove....may we see it lit?

Sure I post one in the next few days.

Incandescent right?

Yep, and this is a metal one, whats kind of funny is this weights almost as much as my entire polycarbonate one

Does this have a plastic or glass lens?

looks like plastic

Plastic, my brother now has this too.

Thanks, I personally prefer glass though...I've seen plastic lenses burnt to the point where there's a nice hole in the centre.

For cobraheads i like glass, but for signals i like plastic better. Glass looks better on vintage lights though.

Well for aluminium signals I prefer glass but poly signals look better with plastic lenses.

I don't like poly signals. I like the aluminum ones better.

I use poly lenses for frisbees! Thats all they're good for!!!

Also took one at the traffic signal collector meet last year and smashed through it with my fist. Thing distingrated...........

We don't have either in my area, all signals where converted to LED at least eight years ago.

I was surprised to see some incandescent traffic lights in Niagra Falls. I haven't seen an incandescent traffic light in over a year.

There's some incandescent traffic lights left in Vaughan, and Oakville too.

And Toronto still has a lot of incandescent amber lights. My area is completely LED though.

@ Nick you've told me that story at least a dozen times.

i don't like plastic lenses period....they always dull and yellow eventually.

Just like plastic refractors.

Wasn't telling you anything this time!!!

They don't yellow.......they char up......... I stuck my finger through one before with not much effort just trying to remove it from a signal I was working on....

@joe i don't think that's going to happen.

@Nick yes i have seen discolored traffic light lenses...Gadsden Alabama had plenty of 8 and 12" Signals with poly lenses with a Yellow-Brown discoloration smack dab in the middle of the lense.

I've seen that too. Is it all incandescent traffic light lenses or just the plastic ones that the coloring is dull?
