Corner Traffic Signal Light

Corner Traffic Signal Light FARM HOME Novelty Items A few years ago I picked up an old corner traffic signal light when a local city decided to install new lights I installed it in my yard where it makes an unusual night light It s located about 200 ft from our house and 400 ft from the road so passersby can see it I ve got it wired up so that I can use all the lights or just one depending on the occasion I use a single light most of the time which provides plenty of illumination The lights don t blink on or off but if I wanted I could wire them up that way My son who is a contractor removed the light which came equipped with a 400-lb cement base I brought the entire unit home on a trailer and used a backhoe to dig a hole then set the base in the hole and bolted the post on I removed the original 150-watt bulbs because they use a lot of electricity and replaced them with small 13-watt energy-saving bulbs The lights are good and bright and last a long time There are 2 sets of lights but I only have one set lit up It faces the house and road The unit s walk signal is still on but I didn t wire it up I installed light sensors so that the lights automatically come on at night and go off in the morning John Eilers 2095 E 350 N Pana Ill 62557 ph 217 562-4021
