Light signals

Changing the lightbulbs of the signals

Until now, light signals were equipped with standard bulbs. Now they have been replaced by LEDs.

The old bulbs were 12V, 3 watt bulbs. This brought the power consumption to around 200 watts!

The new LEDs consume only 0.8 watts, resulting in a power consumption of only 50 watts.

In addition, the LEDs are significantly brighter:
