The "real" bulbs for these traffic lights are 12V, 50W Halogen Bulbs with a GY6.35 base from General Electric, however they have been replaced with generic 4W LED bulbs to reduce the brightness and power consumption. | The "real" bulbs for these traffic lights are 12V, 50W Halogen Bulbs with a GY6.35 base from General Electric, however they have been replaced with generic 4W GY6.35 LED bulbs to reduce the brightness and power consumption. | ||
There is 2x spare LED bulbs inside the amber section of the traffic light. | There is 2x spare LED bulbs inside the amber section of the traffic light. | ||
'''Note:''' It turns out G4's will fit in the bulb holders. These are cheaper than GY6.35s and much easier to get hold of - Poundland stocks 3x 20W Halogen G4s for £1, or you can get LED G4s from £1 each on Ebay. My suggestion would be to use G4s in future. | |||
