Those are LEDs (light emitting diodes). They are used because they 1) use far less electricity than incandescent bulbs, and 2) they are brighter (thought they actually do not produce the same lumen as regular incandescent hence the large array) and 3) they have a much longer lifespan than other bulbs.

How much power does a traffic light use?
The power consumption of a traffic light can vary depending on its type and design. Traditional incandescent traffic lights typically use about 60 to 100 watts, while more modern LED traffic lights consume significantly less, typically around 10 to 30 watts. Overall, the shift to LED technology has resulted in substantial energy savings for traffic management systems.
Why are traffic light bulbs exchanged with LED?
LED light source stability and energy saving
Can somebody tell me what an led traffic sign is?
LED traffic signs utilize LED bulbs to give high density, clear signage. High on the safety rating scale, LED options offer movement (blinking lights) and are easily readable from a distance. Whereas reflective signs require an outside light source to be readable, LED signs are lit from within.
How much does it cost to power a traffic light for a day?
The cost to power a typical traffic light for a day is around $1 to $3 depending on the location and electricity rates. Traffic lights are LED-based and use minimal power, typically around 100-150 watts per hour.
Who invented the first LED light bulb?
Thomas Edison invented light because he made light so why not bulbs
What is a UFO grow light?
An LED UFO grow light is a round light made specifically for marijuana plant growth.
Who invented the signal light?
The traffic light as we know it today was invented by Garrett Augustus Morgan, the son of former slaves. Before that there was a gas lantern signal light in England, but that was before automobiles. There was a railroad light version later, but it wasn't like our modern version. If you didn't mean "traffic light" then i don't know.
What type of diode produces light when properly biased?
That would be an LED or Light Emitting Diode an LED is a light
What is the cost of one traffic light?
The cost of one traffic light can vary widely based on factors such as location, design, and technology. Generally, a standard traffic light can range from $5,000 to $15,000, while more advanced systems with features like LED lights and integrated sensors may cost significantly more. Installation costs can add an additional $10,000 to $30,000, depending on the complexity of the setup and local labor rates. Overall, the total expense for a traffic light system can exceed $50,000 in certain cases.
What are led light?
Typical old fashioned traffic lights use incandescent bulbs and also generate some heat. Therefore, in colder climates the lights themselves helped keep the lights free of ice and snow. Light Emitting Diodes (LED) have now replaced the bulbs in many traffic lights because although they cost more, LED's last longer and use less power. However, they can be a problem in colder climates as noted.
What does LED stand for in LED lights?
Light Emitting Diode - LED
How has the traffic light evolved over time?
Traffic lights do not evolve. However their design changes over time. For instance they now used colored LED lights instead of white light bulbs and colored filters. This means that they are cheaper and last longer without needing bulbs replaced.
