Beginning this July, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MOOT) will implement a new specification on all their projects that requires that lights on plastic drums be Type D, 360° warning lights. This change in the warning light requirement is the result of an ongoing cooperative effort between MITA and MDOT to improve the overall quality and effectiveness of the nighttime delineation of work zones. MITA and MDOT agree that the new 360° light will address MDOT's concerns with lens alignment, a common problem often cited with the outgoing flat lens technology. When misaligned, the flat lens lights often appear to be off or display significantly reduced intensity. The new Type D, LED lights are capable of emitting light in 360° while sustaining constant brightness without an alignment concern.
