Key specifications across the line

Aspect count configurations

1-aspect LED traffic light

A single-direction signal head with one LED array. Used for pedestrian signals (walk/don't walk), lane control signals, reversible lane indicators and special-purpose indicators such as ramp meters. Browse 1-aspect products.

2-aspect LED traffic light

Two-direction signal head, typically red+green or red+yellow. Used for compact intersections, ramp control and pedestrian crossings. Browse 2-aspect products.

3-aspect LED traffic light

The industry-standard red/yellow/green vehicle signal. Used in the majority of urban and suburban intersections worldwide. Browse 3-aspect products.

4-aspect LED traffic light

Red/yellow/green plus a turn arrow (left, right or both). Used at intersections with protected turn phases. The arrow can be a separate aspect or a shared lamp module with arrow overlay. Browse 4-aspect products.

Frequently asked questions

What diameter LED traffic lights does GAOQIAO manufacture?

GAOQIAO manufactures LED traffic lights in four standard diameters: 100mm (4-inch), 200mm (8-inch), 300mm (12-inch) and 400-500mm (16-20-inch). The 300mm 12-inch line is the most exported size, used in standard urban and suburban intersections. Larger diameters are reserved for highways and high-speed arterials.

How many aspects can a GAOQIAO LED traffic light have?

GAOQIAO signal heads are available in 1-aspect, 2-aspect, 3-aspect and 4-aspect configurations. A 1-aspect is a single indicator (e.g., red only or a pedestrian walk/don't walk). 3-aspect is the standard red-yellow-green vehicle signal. 4-aspect adds a turn arrow. Custom aspect counts and arrow directions are available for OEM projects.

What is the typical lead time for a LED traffic light order?

Standard catalog items ship in 15-25 days from order confirmation. Custom OEM configurations with non-standard colors, logos or aspect counts typically ship in 30-45 days. Container-optimized packaging is included. For urgent project requirements, expedited production is available at additional cost.

Are GAOQIAO LED traffic lights compatible with common controllers?

Yes. GAOQIAO signal heads use industry-standard wiring and voltage (12-24 VDC or 110-220 VAC), making them compatible with virtually any major traffic signal controller. We also manufacture our own matching traffic light controller line for projects that want a single-source solution. Documentation including wiring diagrams is shipped with every order.

What warranty does GAOQIAO offer on LED traffic lights?

GAOQIAO LED traffic lights carry a 3-year warranty on the LED module and a 5-year warranty on the housing. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and premature LED failure under normal operating conditions. Extended warranty terms are available for OEM projects.

Which LED count and lens size should I choose?

Lens size depends on the road class. For urban roads with speed limits under 60 km/h, 200 mm lenses with up to 140 LEDs per aspect are common. For arterial roads and highways above 60 km/h, 300 mm or 400 mm lenses are required to meet ITE and EN 12368 visibility distances. GAOQIAO project engineers can recommend the right configuration based on your intersection geometry, mounting height and approach speed.

How long does the LED module last?

GAOQIAO traffic light LED modules use high-flux 5 mm discrete LEDs from Osram or Nichia, rated for 100,000 hours of operation at 25 °C ambient. The integrated constant-current driver has surge protection up to 4 kV and an MTBF exceeding 200,000 hours. In typical intersection use (16 hours per day), this corresponds to more than 17 years of service before reaching 70% of initial luminous flux.

Is the traffic light compatible with common traffic controllers?

Yes. Our traffic lights are voltage-compatible with all major controller brands including Siemens, Swarco, Peek, Eagle, NTCIP, Econolite and Chinese-made controllers. Standard operating voltage is 110 V AC or 220 V AC at 50/60 Hz, with 12 V DC and 24 V DC variants available for low-voltage intersection cabinets. We provide the wiring harness, terminal blocks and pin-out diagram for each controller brand on request.

Procurement guide for international buyers

This section summarizes the most common commercial and technical questions that importers, contractors and government procurement officers ask before issuing a purchase order for traffic light systems from GAOQIAO.

Compliance, standards and certifications

GAOQIAO products are designed to meet the most widely adopted international road, traffic and electrical safety standards. Our factory is audited annually by TÜV, SGS and BV.

For tender submissions, GAOQIAO provides pre-filled compliance matrices, type-test reports, photometric files, and CAD drawings within 3 working days of request.

Typical deployment scenarios

GAOQIAO traffic light systems have been deployed in 60+ countries. The following are the most common deployment scenarios our project team encounters.

  1. Urban intersection upgrades — replacement of legacy incandescent signals with LED modules to cut municipal electricity bills by 70–85%.
  2. New residential community entrances — combined vehicle signal, pedestrian signal and countdown timer for gated communities and townships.
  3. Industrial parks and logistics hubs — heavy-duty pole and signal head configurations for sites with frequent truck traffic.
  4. School zone safety upgrades — flashing warning signals and pedestrian crossings controlled by time-of-day schedulers.
  5. Temporary work zones and road construction — mobile or trailer-mounted configurations that can be redeployed as projects progress.
  6. Solar-hybrid rural deployments — off-grid intersections in regions with weak or no grid infrastructure.

For each scenario, GAOQIAO can share anonymized case studies with photos, drawings, and measured performance data on request.

Maintenance and lifecycle planning

With proper preventive maintenance, the operational lifetime of a GAOQIAO traffic light typically exceeds 10 years. The following schedule reflects the experience of our field service team across more than 60 countries.

GAOQIAO offers annual maintenance contracts and on-site technician training for distributor networks. Spare-part kits for the first 3 years of operation are bundled with every shipment at no additional cost.
