LED Signal Module is compatible with currently approved traffic
signal housings.
Manufacturer's name, model number, date of manufacture, and
serial number are permanently marked on the rear of the LED
signal module.
LED signal module will be marked with a permanent label that
includes the FDOT Certification Number once the device has
been approved.
Lens is tinted with an appropriate color (red, amber or green) to
reduce sun phantom affect and enhance on/off contrast.
Tinting is uniform across the face of the lens, free from streaks,
wrinkles, chips, bubbles, or other imperfections.
If lens is polymer, a surface coating is incorporated to provide
abrasion resistance.
