New Led Traffic Lights Can't Melt Snow.
#6
LED's put off more heat than traditional incandescent lights do. They just put off the heat in a different location. A typical LED light puts off about 40% of its input wattage in heat. Instead of projecting it forward from the light source like an incandescent does, the LED generates its heat at the back end.

So to say that LED streetlights can't melt snow is a misnomer. If the heat from the LED's was used properly they would have no problem melting snow.
