Title: Temporary display in the backyard
Post by: M3019C LPS20 on December 20, 2014, 08:29:39 PM
Earlier today, I decided to connect some of New York City signals to my General Traffic Equipment mechanical controller. I created a rather temporary two-phase setup. The Winko-Matic VI 2L (on the left) controls the main street, while the CooperLED/AtLite Inc. hand and man L.E.D. insert and General Traffic Equipment 1st generation 8" vehicular head control the cross street. The entire cycle takes approximately 60 seconds to complete.

When I saw the headline, I immediately thought that perhaps you've set up a holiday lights theme with traffic signals, or maybe conversely a traffic theme with holiday lights.   :awesomeface:

Any takers?  Are there any holiday light freaks out there?

Interesting.

That was not my original intention. Personally, I am not fanatic of holiday lights at this time of the year.
