Warning signal light bar
A light emitting diode (LED) warning signal light bar is disclosed. The warning signal light bar includes a controller for generating a plurality of observable light signals. The controller may regulate the illumination of LED's to a desired pattern, sequence, and/or combination of simultaneous and/or individual light signals. The warning signal light bar includes a support frame which is adapted to receivingly hold an LED light source assembly. A plurality of light directors are positioned proximate to the LED Light sources which in conjunction with the cover function to direct and focus the light emitted from the LED's in a desired direction or area.
