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 (41)

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

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

b) at least one light signal activator in electric communication with the light emitting diodes, the at least one light signal activator constructed and arranged to activate the light emitting diodes thereby producing at least two different visually distinct warning light signals, wherein the at least two different visually distinct warning light signals are produced simultaneously, said light emitting diodes receiving power from a power source.

2. The multiple warning signal light of claim 1 , said light bar further comprising a first surface and a second surface said first and second surfaces having a plurality of light emitting diodes.

3. The multiple warning signal light of claim 2 , wherein the at least one light signal activator independently activates the light emitting diodes on the first surface and the second surface for the provision of different warning light signals on the first surface and the second surface.

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

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

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

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

b) at least one light signal activator in electric communication with the light emitting diodes, the at least one light signal activator constructed and arranged to activate the light emitting diodes thereby producing at least two different visually distinct warning light signals, wherein the at least two different visually distinct warning light signals are produced in at least one combination, said light emitting diodes receiving power from a power source.

7. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , said warning signal light further comprising a first surface and a second surface the first surface and the second surface having a plurality of light emitting diodes.

8. The multiple warning signal light of claim 7 , wherein the at least one light signal activator independently controls the light emitting diodes on the first surface and the second surface for the provision of different warning light signals on the first surface and the second surface.

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

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

11. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in any combination.

12. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated simultaneously in any combination.

13. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated alternatively in any combination.

14. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in any combination of two or more visually distinct warning light signals.

15. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated simultaneously in any combination of two or more visually distinct warning light signals.

16. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning signals are generated alternatively in any combination of two or more visually distinct warning light signals.

17. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in a regular pattern.

18. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in an intermittent pattern.

19. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in an irregular pattern.

20. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in a regular sequence.

21. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in an intermittent sequence.

22. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated in an irregular sequence.

23. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated at regular intervals.

24. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated at intermittent intervals.

25. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein three or more visually distinct warning light signals are generated at irregular intervals.

26. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein the at least two visually distinct warning light signals are generated in any combination.

27. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein the at least two visually distinct warning light signals are generated simultaneously in any combination.

28. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein the at least two visually distinct warning light signals are generated alternatively in any combination.

29. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein the at least two visually distinct warning light signals are generated in a regular pattern.

30. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein the at least two different visually distinct warning light signals are generated in an intermittent pattern.

31. The multiple warning signal light of claim 6 , wherein the at least two different visually distinct warning light signals are generated in an irregular pattern.
