Here in US, I've seen slow conversion of LED lights taken over my neighborhood - also depending on area too. Just out of curiosity... is the second picture (one with all the lights) real ? as in - real traffic light being used, somewhere in the world? I think its a matter of getting the LED lights switched.

Just out of curiosity… is the second picture (one with all the lights) real ? as in – real traffic light being used, somewhere in the world?

LEDs are great in high-contrast settings...I doubt they will ever be able to create the ambient light we all see by. plenty of LED traffic lights up here in new england too. this is the perfect example of where LEDs work best … companies trying to force LEDs to compete and outperform T8 lamps and halogen light sources really miss the point.

LED traffic lights are fairly common in many countries these days. I can't remember the last time I saw an incandescent traffic light here in Australia.
