Abstract

A light emitting diode (LED) warning signal light, the warning signal light comprising an array of light sources configured on a light support and in electrical communication with a controller and a power supply, battery, or other electrical source. The warning signal light provides various colored light signals for independent use or use by an emergency vehicle. These light signals may include a stationary light, strobe light, revolving light, and an oscillating light. Additionally, the warning signal light may be capable of displaying symbols, reverse characters, or arrows. Preferably, rotating and oscillating light signals are produced by sequentially illuminating columns of LED's on a stationary light support. However, the warning signal light may also be rotated or oscillated via mechanical means. The warning signal light may also be transportable for easy connection to a stand such as a tripod for electrical connection to a power supply as a stand-alone warning signal.

Claims (25)

1. A multiple warning signal light for use with a motorized vehicle, the multiple warning signal light comprising:

a) a light support having a plurality of light emitting diodes; and

b) a controller in electric communication with the light emitting diodes, the controller constructed and arranged to activate the light emitting diodes thereby producing at least two different types of visually distinct warning light signals, the controller further constructed and arranged to produce the at least two different types of visually distinct warning light signals simultaneously, said light emitting diodes receiving power from a power source.

2. The multiple warning signal light of claim 1 , said light support further comprising a front side and a back side said front side and said back side having a plurality of light emitting diodes.

3. The multiple warning signal light of claim 2 , wherein the controller controls the light emitting diodes on the front side and the back side for the provision of different warning light signals on the front side and the back side.

4. The multiple warning signal light of claim 1 , wherein one of said warning light signals is a directional indicator.

5. The multiple warning signal light of claim 1 , wherein the motorized vehicle is a utility vehicle.

6. The multiple warning signal light of claim 1 , wherein the motorized vehicle is an emergency vehicle.

7. A multiple warning signal light for use with a motorized vehicle, the multiple warning signal light comprising:

a) a light support having a plurality of light emitting diodes; and

b) a controller in electric communication with the light emitting diodes, the controller constructed and arranged to activate the light emitting diodes thereby producing at least two different types of visually distinct warning light signals, the controller further constructed and arranged to produce said at least two different types of visually distinct warning light signals in combination, said light emitting diodes receiving power from a power source.

8. The multiple warning signal light of claim 7 , said light support further comprising a front side and a back side, said front side and said back side having a plurality of light emitting diodes.

9. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the controller controls the light emitting diodes on said front side and said back side for the provision of different warning light signals on front side and the back side.

10. The multiple warning signal light of claim 7 , wherein two or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in any combination.

11. The multiple warning signal light of claim 7 , wherein two or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated simultaneously in any combination.

12. The multiple warning signal light of claim 7 , wherein two or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated alternatively in any combination.

13. The multiple warning signal light of claim 7 , wherein two or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in a regular pattern.

14. The multiple warning signal light of claim 7 , wherein two or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in an intermittent pattern.

15. The multiple warning signal light of claim 7 , wherein two or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in an irregular pattern.

16. The multiple warning signal light of claim 7 , wherein two or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in a regular sequence.

17. The multiple warning signal light of claim 7 , wherein two or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in an intermittent sequence.

18. The multiple warning signal light of claim 7 , wherein two or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in an irregular sequence.

19. The multiple warning signal light of claim 7 , wherein two or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated at regular intervals.

20. The multiple warning signal light of claim 7 , wherein two or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated at intermittent intervals.

21. The multiple warning signal light of claim 7 , wherein two or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated at irregular intervals.
