Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9938361A1] The breaking distances of electronic switches (T) are parallel connected in relation to the light emitting diodes (LD) of a luminous signal, by means of which they are short circuited when no supply voltage (U=) is available. The interference voltage coupled to the light diodes approximately on the supply lines (L1, L2) cannot light the luminous diodes. Once the supply voltage for the light emitting diodes exceeds a given threshold value, the short circuits are eliminated and the light emitting diodes activated. The electronic switches are preferably embodied as self-conductive field effect transistors whose source gate distances are parallel connected to the series resistors that are series connected to the corresponding series resistors (R).
