With the current technoledgy of LEDs, they work best in applications where they're not being used to illuminate an area. (Street lighting is a good example for a poor application). LEDs are excellent for battery powered lights, traffic lights, indicators, and low voltage landscape lights because they use far less energey then the incandescents.

I'm not a fan of LED traffic lights, the colours are sometimes inconsistent even within the same brand.

Mike:
Sort of sounds like probe metal halide. I do notice some are bluish. I think the green light should be green. :8)

joe_347V:
Bluish crosswalk lights too. :8) They also vary in brightness too some are too dim and some blind you at night, I guess that's why my lights are still incandescent. :D

Mike:
I use 60w lamps in my signal and they're plenty bright. My signal will always remain incandecent. ;D Incandescent is more intersting than LED.

joe_347V:
I use wattages close to what the ones on the street would use, and incandescent is more interesting, I've yet to see a LED signal that emulates the fade out correctly.
