First signal equipment used 280 B.C.: Lighthouse of Alexandria (Pharos) Romans built network of lighthouses around
the Mediterranean Sea◦ app. 100 A.D.: „Torre de Hércules“ in Spain ◦ the oldest still used lighthouse
12th century: Europeans built newlight houses◦ reincreasing sea trade (Hanse)
All were lighted by burning wood or coal

1782: the physicist Aimé Argand invented the Argand burner.
Until 1850s: candle bulbs or „Feuerblüsen“ in Germany

1820s: Fresnel Lens◦ invented in by Augustin Jean Fresnel◦ bunching of light beams increases outreach◦ special geometry saves material
06.06.2013Matthias Becker, B.Sc. 5
1920s: Use of incandescent bulbs Today: ◦ metal halide high pressure lamps◦ incandescent bulbs

Operating Voltage in Lighthouse◦ 230V / 400W◦ 400V / 2000W
Filling:◦ Xe (starting gas)◦ Hg (operating voltage)◦ Me-Halides (Me = Na, In, Tl, Sc…)
(light emission)

1868: First traffic lights installed in London◦ worked with gas light◦ exploded on 2nd January 1869
1912: Development of electric traffic light 1914: First electrical traffic light installed in
Cleveland (US) 1922: First traffic light in Europe (Paris and
Hamburg)

Traditionally◦ incandescent bulbs (230 V / 40 V)◦ halogen bulbs (10 V)low efficiency of light outputsingle point of failure (filament burn out)
Retrofitting with LED arrays◦ less energy consumption◦ increased light output◦ longer life time

simplest form stationary halogen bulb attached to a
spinning mirror or Fresnel lens◦ spinning parabolic mirror causes modulation of
light covered by a plastic dome for protection
06.06.2013Matthias Becker, B.Sc. 18
quite modern invention xenon flash lamps◦ produce a very brief but bright flash isonized Xe discharges a high current through the
filling gas◦ bluish emission spectrum
minor wear better recognisable at daylight often attached with Fresnel lens
06.06.2013Matthias Becker, B.Sc. 19
Very popular◦ small◦ long-lasting◦ power-saving◦ can easily be seen - even in sun light◦ programmable flash pattern◦ thin construction possible (wind resistance)
Constructed as light bar or single beacon◦ also as flip up under the sun visor
