A light signal contains a semiconductor light source and a convex lens system for representing signal aspects, especially on rail-bound traffic routes. In order to eliminate the need for monochrome semiconductor light sources, the semiconductor light source is a white point light source. A signal aspect-specific color filter is provided in the aperture region of the point light source.
1. A light signal, comprising:
a semiconductor light source being a white point light source defining an aperture region;
a converging optical unit for defining signal properties, said converging optical unit being a common converging optical unit assigned to the signal properties;
at least one signal-aspect-specific color filter disposed in said aperture region of said white point light source, said signal-aspect-specific color filter being a polycarbonate color filter film;
an automatic changer for positioning said signal-aspect-specific color filter into the aperture region of said white point light source; and
said white point light source being a common point light source and the signal properties are assigned said common point light source, said common point light source having a light emitting diode (LED) selected from the group consisting of a white LED and a white, high-current LED.
2. The light signal according to claim 1 , wherein said white point light source is one of a plurality of white point light sources each containing a light emitting diode (LED) selected from the group consisting of a white LED and a white, high-current LED, each of the signal properties is assigned one of said white point light sources.
3. The light signal according to claim 1 , wherein the light signal is configured for used on rail-bound traffic routes.
4. A light signal, comprising:
a semiconductor light source being a white point light source defining an aperture region;
a converging optical unit for defining signal properties, said converging optical unit being a common converging optical unit assigned to the signal properties;
at least one signal-aspect-specific color filter disposed in said aperture region of said white point light source, said signal-aspect-specific color filter being a polycarbonate color filter film;
an automatic changer for positioning said signal-aspect-specific color filter into the aperture region of said white point light source; and
said white point light source having only a single light emitting diode (LED) selected from the group consisting of a single white LED and a single white, high-current LED.
