Econolite Traffic Signals

Econolite 2 way cluster. Click here to see more about these signals.

These signals are identical short groove back 8 inch signals. The visors on these signals are interesting to me because they go out from the face of the signal at almost a 90 degree angle, unlike Eagle and Crouse Hinds tunnel visors which have a definite slope down to them.

The signal above has 3M adapters in place of standard lenses and visors.

Twelve inch pedestrian signal with symbolic commands lenses. Most modern pedestrian signals in the United States have square or rectangular lenses. This signal came from British Columbia, Canada. It is all plastic, including the lenses, but the lenses are round. They also have Canadian style HAND MAN symbols. The hand is an outline rather than a solid hand as seen on US signals. The Canadian style walking man has a longer stride than the US version. Econolite 12 inch ped head with round Canadian style lenses
Econolite 9 inch pedestrian signal. Click here to see more pics of this signal. This is a 9 inch pedestrian signal. From this front view, it looks just like an Eagle 9 inch pedestrian signal, but the visors are not as long and tilt down a bit more than the Eagles do. It has glass lenses with the words masked on the outside of the lenses. Click on the picture to see more pics!
Econolite 12 inch Bulls-eye signal with glass lenses 12 inch "Bulls-Eye" signals. The name Bulls-Eye comes from the unique pattern on the back of the signal bodies that resembles a bulls eye. Click on either signal to see more pictures. The signal with 12 inch the WAIT WALK lenses is a square door and the vehicle signal is a round door. Other than that, they are the same type of signal body. The pedestrian signal lenses in the 12 inch size have been seen in Hawaii. These were also made in 8 inch sizes which were more widely used.

Neon Econolite pedestrian signals.

The first signal has an Econolite body and a modular neon unit made by ICC. The second signal, my favorite, has tubes that are bent in the shape of the commands. You can see more about either one by clicking on each picture. The third one has an identical body to the first one, but has exposed tubes bent in the shape of the commands like the second signal.
