“WINTERIZE YOUR LED’s with our SNOW SENTRY™”

It is a well known fact that  snow and ice build-up on LED modules is a safety issue for both motorists and pedestrians. Incandescent signals generate enough heat to minimize the build-up of snow on the lens whereas LEDs do not.

There are certain conditions that cause snow build up on LED signals; this will depend on: – type of snow, temperature, wind, & road conditions.  Before this happens to your signals, try Fortran’s Patent Pending “SNOW SENTRY™”.  It is the first device specifically designed to address the potentially dangerous effect of snow build-up on LED Lenses.

For more information, check out our News section “LED Traffic Signals can't Melt Snow” and the "SNOW SENTRY™" product page.

Factory CSA Approval:   

Fortran has been granted the use of the cCSAus marking for our Traffic and Pedestrian Signals by CSA International.  Fortran's signals can be factory CSA'd for use in Canada and US.  We have quarterly inspections/audits performed by CSA inspectors to confirm that we comply to the certification.  Our certification files can be easily accessible on CSA's website or click Fortran CSA Certification. Both the incandescent and LED signals are certified.  Please inform the sales rep that you require the CSA certification on the signal when ordering.
