Terry, I have used all the major suppliers and experienced problems with all
although they all now say these issues have been resolved. Siemens main
problem was total aspect failure, although the lamp monitoring works ok.
Peeks main problem was spurious lamp failures although the reliability of
the LED's is OK. Microsense, some led string failures but lamp monitoring is
a nightmare and we still haven't resolved whilst using with peek
controllers.
You also need to be aware of which controllers work with which manufacturers
signals.
We have used retrofit led's supplied by Techmiracle working with a ST800 and
the only problem we have experienced is blowing of their LCU that was traced
back to faulty signal cabling, no problems since cable was replaced. They
also employ a central light source so you don't have the string failure
problem (Siemens now going this way to.) Only thing I am not to fussed on is
their aluminium head as it is not modular although they tell me they are due
to bring one out soon.
Regards
Dave

Subject: [TCUG] LED heads with RLMU's
I'm currently in the process of designing a site on the A10 in Cambridges=
hire and due to the high speed nature of the road would like to place LED=
signal heads on site so that we may reduce the accident risks asssociate= d
with maintenance of the lamps. I am however installing peds on the side=
road thus the site is required to be lamp monitored. Has anyone used LED=
signals with a RLM unit and if so how did it go?? Is it reliable??? I ha= ve
inquired at Peek and they are confident that their unit works but due = to
the nature of the site I would like a more practicle view as the LED R= LMU
does not need to be seperately approved from a standard RLMU.
Thanks
Terry
