Vehicle Signals

'Long-Groove' (8")

Modelled after GE's final 8" signal design, the Econolite Long-Groove is very similar, with a few changes. It features 3 grooves along the back, as opposed to GE's two, and it sports the Econolite logo where the all too famous GE logo once stood. It was discontinued in favor of the Short-Groove due to moisture problems.

'Short-Groove' (8")

The Short-Groove is named after the grooves on the back of the signal that stop before reaching the housing ends. Pedestrian signals were also crafted using the same housings. The traffic signals shipped with custom lenses that have the Econolite logo on the fronts.

'Bullseye' Roundbody (12")

Square-door Econolite Bulls-eye traffic lights in Huntsville, AL.

After Econolite bought GE's traffic signal line, Econolite began producing the traffic light known as the "Bullseye" traffic light. The earlier signals may have only been able to be ordered with round doors (could be incorrect) and by 1963, the signals could be ordered with round doors or square doors.

'McCain-style' (8" & 12")

The newest Econolite signals on the market, this style features streamline door latches, a simple backing similar to McCain's, doors that can be reversed to open either right or left, and the newest Econolite logo imprinted vertically on the back of each housing. Like most modern signals, these are available in all standard colors, visor types, and configurations.
