Mancave traffic signal light, Wiring it up

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

We wire up a traffic signal light.
I purchased a traffic light and had no Idea how to wire it up. Found a video on KZread that had the prefect solution. It really didn't show how to wire it up but it had where to buy a control board, So I ordered the board and it arrived very early. This is for a LED light if yours is the older regular incandescent lights you'll need the other board that's much more heavy duty. I'm showing you how to wire a traffic signal for your mancave or shop. I'm so excited how this works and how nice it looks. Can't wait to clean it up and find a solution for mounting it. Subscribe so you'll be notified when I get the video out of the complete clean up and proper mounting of the circuit board.
below are links to the different boards.

    @lukegutierrez4889 have no idea about the switch. You might contact the company that makes the electronics for the light and crosswalk s and ask about that wire to make sure you get the correct electronics to operate your sign. Wish I could help more, sorry, thanks for viewing

    Wire pull about 8.5 minutes would have been easier if you opened the red light. Great video. i have several walk and don't walk individual lights to wired up. thought about making them flash GO Browns by making a print out on a mylar pastic sheet that can print in a normal printer

    The traffic light should be right side up. So, when it's right side up, the red light has to be on the top of the yellow light, and the green light has to be on the bottom of the yellow light.

    Francis Lorico this was strictly just to see if the lights worked and the electronic thing worked. Now I know all is good I'll do another video for cleaning it up. mounting the electrinics properly in the light and how I figure how to mount it in my shop. Thanks for viewing.

    For a traffic light controller I'd imagine you could also use something called a raspberry pi which is a super tiny little computer that runs on Linux and they come with some really useful IO ports which allow you to program it to do practically anything such as running a stop light. Of course you might have to be pretty literate in code I don't know.

    I have a traffic light and it was completely gutted, I have put incandescent lights in with standard 2 wire light sockets. I also got the walk and don't walk side lights. So when green light is on the walk light works and when the red light I on the don't walk sign is on. When I am wiring it up can I also put the power wire for the walk sign on the green light terminal? And you said you got your controller from Galic electronics in maryland, would you happen to have a model number cause I would like to order one. Thanks awesome video

    andrew williams in the description below the vid I have a link to where I purchased mine. If you use regular bulbs I think you may need their heavier duty board (they draw more than LED) but check out the link go to their website you'll find the boards they have and you might even contact them and ask about the walk sign I think they have a board that accommodates both signals at once.
