Abstract

A light emitting diode (LED) warning signal light, the warning signal light comprising a plurality of light sources constructed and arranged with a reflector or cullminator, the LED light source being 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 strobe light, revolving light, an alternating light, a flashing light, a modulated light, a pulsating light, an oscillating light or any combination thereof. Additionally, the warning signal light may be capable of displaying symbols, reverse characters, or arrows. The controller may further be adapted to regulate or modulate the power intensity exposed to the illuminated LED's to create a variable intensity light signal.

Claims (38)

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

a) a light support;

b) a single row of light emitting diodes arranged about and attached to the light support; and

c) 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 visually distinct warning light signals, one of said visually distinct warning light signals comprising the repetitive illumination of one or more light emitting diodes over a period of time to form a first illumination pattern and one of said visually distinct warning light signals comprising the repetitive illumination of one or more light emitting diodes over a period of time to form a second illumination pattern where the first illumination pattern and the second illumination pattern are different, the controller further constructed and arranged to produce the at least two different visually distinct warning light signals simultaneously, the light emitting diodes receiving power from a power source wherein the light support is moveable with respect to said motorized vehicle.

2. The multiple warning signal light of claim 1 , further comprising a gyrator attached to the light support wherein the gyrator may move the warning signal light to provide rotational or oscillatory motion.

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

4. The multiple warning signal light of claim 3 , 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.

5. The multiple warning signal light of claim 1 , wherein the warning light signal is in the form of a directional indicator.

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

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

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

a) a light support;

b) a single row of light emitting diodes arranged about and attached to the light support; and

c) 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 visually distinct warning light signals, one of said visually distinct warning light signals comprising the repetitive illumination of one or more light emitting diodes over a period of time to form a first illumination pattern and one of said visually distinct warning light signals comprising the repetitive illumination of one or more light emitting diodes over a period of time to form a second illumination pattern where the first illumination pattern and the second illumination pattern are different, the controller further constructed and arranged to produce the at least two different visually distinct warning light signals in at least one combination, the light emitting diodes receiving power from a power source a power source wherein the light support is moveable wit respect to said motorized vehicle.

9. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the at least two different visually distinct warning light signals are generated in any combination.

10. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the at least two different visually distinct warning light signals are generated simultaneously in any combination.

11. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the at least two different visually distinct warning light signals are generated alternatively in any combination.

12. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the at least two different visually distinct warning light signals are generated in any combination of two or more visually distinct warning light signals.

13. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the at least two different visually distinct warning light signals are generated simultaneously in any combination of two or more visually distinct warning light signals.

14. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated alternatively in any combination of two or more visually distinct warning light signals.

15. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in any combination of three or more visually distinct warning light signals.

16. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated simultaneously in any combination of three or more visually distinct warning light signals.

17. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated alternatively in any combination of three or more visually distinct warning light signals.

18. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the at least two visually distinct warning light signals are generated in a regular pattern.

19. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the at least two visually distinct warning light signals arc generated in an intermittent pattern.

20. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the at least two visually distinct warning light signals are generated in an irregular pattern.

21. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the at least two visually distinct warning light signals are generated in a regular sequence.

22. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the at least two visually distinct warning light signals are generated in an intermittent sequence.

23. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the at least two visually distinct warning light signals are generated in an irregular sequence.

24. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the at least two visually distinct warning light signals are generated at regular intervals.

25. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the at least two visually distinct warning light signals are generated at intermittent intervals.

26. The multiple warning signal light of claim 8 , wherein the at least two visually distinct warning light signals are generated at irregular intervals.

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

a) a light support;

b) a single column of light emitting diodes arranged about and attached to the light support; and

c) 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 visually distinct warning light signals, one of said visually distinct warning light signals comprising the repetitive illumination of one or more light emitting diodes over a period of time to form a first illumination pattern and one of said visually distinct warning light signals comprising the repetitive illumination of one or more light emitting diodes over a period of time to form a second illumination pattern where the first illumination pattern and the second illumination pattern are different, the controller further constructed and arranged to produce the at least two different visually distinct warning light signals in at least one combination, the light emitting diodes receiving power from a power source wherein the light support is moveable with respect to said motorized vehicle.
