For reasons of energy efficiency and longer service life, the state's traffic signals have switched from using incandescent bulb to light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This switch also led to the replacements of the traffic lights to LEDs in Saint Peter. LEDs produce less than half the heat as incandescent bulbs and do not emit as much heat into the atmosphere.
