Incandescent lights aren't LED, as I've explained to ya before. I'll fix the poll here shortly.

Though personally, I don't really have a favorite. If I had to pick one though, it'd probably have to be WCH Clear LEDs.

EDIT Fixed it, you'll probably need to recast your vote if you've already cast your vote previously.
They/Them for me, please.

Ditto on the WCH clears. They are some of the oldest LEDs out there and date back to before 2000

Incandescent lights and LED lights are two different things though. So even then, "Which LED lights are your favorite?" would still exclude any incandescent lights.

Also, for reference, in the future when you want to reply to a specific post, you use the quote button on said post.

I like WCH Clear LEDs the best because I like how clear LEDs show a better color quality than having colored lenses matching the color LEDs.

I chose other because I like Leotek IL series LEDs, because I first discovered them in Charlotte, NC. The Florida East Coast Railway is also using these LEDs too as well.

Sorry for bumping this topic. I chose Union Pacific/Electro-tech because that's what led light is common in my area, and plus I like the looks of them in the older safetran light frames. UP retrofitted all of their older signals from the MoPac era around 2009/2010.

Sorry for the late bump...

I chose GE Dotted, because they look good, and are nice in general. Also, I like the WCH Clears and Electro-Tech.

Why does everyone copy my signature?

OG signal collection signature, I think. :LOL2:
