That was interesting. A couple of those would be great atmospheric lighting for a patio or porch!

I picked a light yesterday from my uncle and I can't wait to clean her up and rewire it to bring it back to light

Wow. Great work. You are multi talented. Love the light. 🚦

That’s awesome great job with restoring the traffic light 🚦.

Excellent fun-party-icebreaker!

If you want one, you can find some on eBay for pretty good prices usually. I have an 30” one that I got from eBay 2 months ago and all LED’s with controller, pretty fun project to work on and a controller off of amazon is cheap like $27. It’s pretty cool to have at least one in a house, btw I like your Cinnabon vids btw, cats are my favorite animals

Thanks Trey!

Could you do a tutorial on how to hook up just one, I found a green one with a 3 pin connector but two pins hooked up, brown wire and blue wire and i can't find anywhere on how to do it

Thank you

Cool! Where did your workplace get these?

Thanks! I work at a civil engineering firm, so our field staff gathered some items that were to be discarded (after replacement, upgrade, etc.) from job sites. It may be incorporated into our building remodel, as was done with road signs and the like.

Traffic lights are a lot bigger than I thought.

They look small outside. Inside is when you can really get a good idea of how big they actually are. Which makes sense when you start thinking about the fact that most stoplights now are standard sized 12" diameter lenses and they have to be visible from far distances. So when you have 3 12" lenses combined with the extra length the housing adds, every light you see is easily probably about 3½-4ft tall. Many places in the US, particularly urban areas, still have 8" lenses or combo 12" & 8" lenses where either the Red or Green lenses are 12" and the others are 8". However these days those are all slowly being phased out throughout the US in favor of full 12" Lenses.

How did you wire it so all 3 lights could be toggled on/off individually

Hi Lex Let me know if you need controller for your projects. I have remote, wifi, manual, arduino options

is the power being stepped down through a transformer? Is there a cheap way to get them to change auto o matic? I have a one but scared electrocuting myself.

No transformer. It's wired up like a table lamp.

I just picked up this exact one! Is it possible you could email me the steps and supplies in wiring it up like you show in the video? I want to do the on/off switches too. It would really be helpful. I have to somehow find replacement light hoods, two of them are cracked in half. I guess I could also make my own out of other material and paint them. Thanks so much!!!

It's all pretty simple electronics. I just wired all of them (jumped them to one another) using the terminals so initially they all light up, then I simply introduced switches to each color.

@@Silverado21 each light has two wires, a neutral and hot, all go to a middle board with terminals on mine. some may be different, definitely would want to talk to an electrician or someone experienced with that as I'm not qualified to give advice of such things.

How did you attach it to the wall??

We ended up sitting it on the floor at the office, it was never wall mounted.
