Homemade shop lights

[jyelenich]

Hey guys I am looking for a little wiring help. I have acquired a few led traffic lights I believe they are LED but not positive. I wanted to know how to wire them together and possibly mount them to make a nice bright shop light. I have added a couple of pictures any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't offer any help but that sure will be cool!

They likely are and it looks like the wire on them may be sufficient to hook to 20A circuits, similar to the ballast wire in a common flow fixture. Some may require additional fuse or be limited to 15A breakers. But,,,,,,,,,, take that fwitw.

Pretty simple, it's a 11W LED standard 120v.

White to white (neutral), yellow to black (hot).

The color of the light is YELLOW so it's going to make a ****** shop light. I guess better than if it were green or red though...

Just noticed the color myself. My have to find a different use for them but thanks for the help that's what I needed.

Is it possible to change the bulb to a clear bulb.

There's no bulb, it's an LED array inside. You can't replace it.

Only two wires would indicate the led's are not multicolor. Perhaps the sticker with the big Y on it indicates yellow?

That, and the 'Y' in the part number say it's yellow (since it's a traffic signal lamp you only have three choices - red, yellow and green.)

I bet the yellow wire is intentional too
