[QUOTE="over9five, post: 967302, member: 1401"] Funny LED story: In The Peoples Republic to save money, they installed thousands of LED traffic lights. "We'll save MILLIONS", they said. But in the winter, there started to be all sorts of accidents because the LED traffic lights would collect snow. You couldn't see them. The old incandescent lights threw off enough heat to melt the snow off the lens. Not so with the new LED lights, they throw no heat. The fix to this problem was to install small electric heaters on every traffic light. Now they cost 20 times what the old incandescent's cost to operate! [/QUOTE]
