Marbelite MP6-L
A while back, I visited Marbelite's headquarters in Manasquan, New Jersey to pick up and purchase the company's current signal model in production, and it is officially known as the model MP6-L. After on hiatus for nearly 30 years, Marbelite re-entered the signal manufacturing business several years ago and designed its very first polycarbonate signal for solely the city of New York. Thus, the birth of the model MP6-L. Because it was designed for the city of New York, the pedestrian signal meets N.Y.C.D.O.T. specifications. Additionally, it is compatible with existing hardware on the streets. In regards to the housing, it is slightly different when compared to that of an ordinary 16" housing, in which the MP6-L uses a slightly condensed L.E.D. insert, so a 16" x 18" would not fit. I chose an ideal insert for the housing, in which was manufactured by General Electric, and N.Y.C.D.O.T. continues to use it, along with some others from LeoTek, as of present day.

Ahh, I'd always thought the NYC pedestrian signals were a tad squarer than the regular 16" kind. Do they still use the pixelated LEDs or have they started using incandescent look modules?

As far as the hand and man set-up is concerned, N.Y.C.D.O.T. continues to use pixelated L.E.D. inserts. Several kinds have been in existence on the streets for at least the last eight years. Though the most current ones (as of 2012) are the G.E. (like the one shown above) and LeoTek inserts.

The only inserts that appear incandescent are the countdown module inserts, in which are manufactured by G.E.
