Indicator Controls Corp Traffic Signal Here is my new traffic signal. They were working on the signals in evergreen... There were already two of them re-done. And it seems they just threw the old traffic signals in a big pile. In the pile lots were busted up. This one was one of the few in good condition... So I picked this and the pedestrian signal up. The back says "Indicator Controls Corp" and the front says "LEXALITE" I assume LEXALITE is the model of this thing... I am not so sure. Does the traffic signal expert in here know?

Indicator Controls Corp Traffic Signal

Here is my new traffic signal.

They were working on the signals in evergreen... There were already two of them re-done. And it seems they just threw the old traffic signals in a big pile. In the pile lots were busted up. This one was one of the few in good condition... So I picked this and the pedestrian signal up.

The back says "Indicator Controls Corp" and the front says "LEXALITE"

I assume LEXALITE is the model of this thing... I am not so sure. Does the traffic signal expert in here know?

Okay Embarrassed
Where where the signals though, at a works yard?
LilCinnamon   [Jul 04, 2011 at 02:12 AM]
Nope. Just on the side of the road. Where they had some trucks and other stuff. Sadly no cobraheads. Maybe I can check there again I dunno. There is still a lot there. I want to snag some of the signal LED modules though. I bet this pile will be there tomorrow all day because of the holiday tomorrow.
gailgrove   [Jul 04, 2011 at 02:14 AM]
You have permission, Right?
LilCinnamon   [Jul 04, 2011 at 02:24 AM]
There wasn't anyone there. I bet it's fine though cause lots of the traffic signals in the pile were cracked, busted, or filled with water. They are just thrown in a big pile and aren't organized or anything.
gailgrove   [Jul 04, 2011 at 02:27 AM]
That doesn't make stealing them right Confused
LilCinnamon   [Jul 04, 2011 at 02:29 AM]
These are just scrap. I doubt I would get in trouble for taking some of the scrap that they are throwing out anyway. Why would they leave them out where people could grab them if they didn;t want anyone taking them? That's what I wouldn't get.
GullWhiz   [Jul 04, 2011 at 02:34 AM]
That's rather sticky situation....but those guys doesn't seem worried about those getting taken....I donno if it's considered "Fine" but consider yourself lucky....because sometimes people are found finding stuff and cops stops by and questions them....

It's true it's generally better to ask......but then again....if I found a broken light in the middle of the road.....I would probably take it....
LilCinnamon   [Jul 04, 2011 at 02:39 AM]
Well yeah. I don't think I am heading back there for more anyway. I am going to settle with this. No cops drove by anyway but lots of people saw me.
joe_347V   [Jul 04, 2011 at 02:57 AM]
Nice find and you got mounting arms with it but I wouldn't have taken them myself.
LilCinnamon   [Jul 04, 2011 at 03:04 AM]
I tried to take the mounting arms off but I couldn't. The screws were on too tight..
rlshieldjr   [Jul 04, 2011 at 03:13 AM]
Maybe the crew didn't want to deal with them and hoping that they might "walk away" especially if they are broken, but the again it is better to ask, as they might direct you to their yard with better stuff,
LilCinnamon   [Jul 04, 2011 at 03:42 AM]
No one was there at the time mostly because it's Sunday and tomorrow is a Holiday.
basilicon89   [Jul 04, 2011 at 04:23 AM]
Nice head! Its in good shape!

Indicator Controls Corporation (ICC) is the manufacturer. Lexalite is a plastics company that produced the plastic parts for ICC and other signal brands. Lexalite makes plastic for many different applications including plastic lenses.
LilCinnamon   [Jul 04, 2011 at 04:35 AM]
Oooh. Well these came with Two GE Modules (Yellow and Green) And the Red is Ecolux. Why is the green different than the yellow and red? The green, the LEDs are aligned in circles while the red and Yellow are more lined up in scattered rows.
basilicon89   [Jul 04, 2011 at 05:12 AM]
The green is a discontinued GE model. So is Yellow. I don't think Ecolux is still in business anymore but dont quote me on that. Looks like that one got upgraded to LED while in the field.
LilCinnamon   [Jul 04, 2011 at 05:21 AM]
I don't think they make pixelated LED modules anymore. Lots of the modules in the signals were scattered different ones.

Were these GE LED modules the ones before the GELcores like the ones I have?
basilicon89   [Jul 04, 2011 at 05:32 AM]
I think Leotek still makes them and markets them under "Extended View" LEDs.

GELCore was the trade name for GE LEDs till about 2007. Its now known as GE Lumination. The model you have is GE RX-11 and yes those came after the ones in your ICC.

RX-11 have a high failure rate due to not having a resistor in series with an LED in the parallel circuit. This causes overheating of LEDs and strings can burn out.
LilCinnamon   [Jul 04, 2011 at 05:40 AM]
Yeah I have seen lots of those GE's with LED's burned out. They aren't as bad as the coopers right? I saw one RX-11 with half of the LED's burned out on the bottom.
basilicon89   [Jul 04, 2011 at 05:44 AM]
Coopers are by far the worst. Those were discontinued completely. RX-11 is still in production. Dunno if they made a design change to prevent the blowing of LEDs. The other GE model produced is GT-1 which is one of the best traffic signal LED fixtures in the industry. I have a set of four GE GT1 arrows in my flashing yellow arrow style left turn signal.
LilCinnamon   [Jul 04, 2011 at 07:27 AM]
I now have 8 LED modules. Getting a ninth next week. Just bought a red Dialight on ebay. So I will have a set of pixelated, a set of GE RX-11's, and a set of non-pixelated diamond pattern LEDs. I will be switching each set from time to time in this traffic light fixture.
