Mounting foot for light bar

1. A mounting foot for mounting a light bar on a roof of a vehicle, the mounting foot comprising:

a body having an outer end, opposite sides, and a generally planar top surface;

at least one platform adjacent the outer end of the body, the platform having a planar upper surface generally parallel to and below the top surface of the body,

a light assembly including a base removably secured to the platform and a light enclosure rotatably connected to the base of the light assembly, the base is slidably removable from a recess.

2. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 1 wherein the light enclosure is rotatable in a rotational plane generally parallel to the upper surface of the platform between a first position and a second position.

3. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 2 wherein the light enclosure is rotatable relative to the platform through a wide angle such that the first and second positions can be offset by an angle of at least about 150 degrees.

4. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 2 wherein the light enclosure has a generally planar top surface that is generally parallel to and either disposed below or generally coplanar with the adjacent top surface of the body.

5. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 1 wherein the platform includes the recess for receiving the base of the light assembly and the base of the light assembly has a planar top surface that is generally coplanar with the top surface of the platform when the base is received in the recess.

6. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 5 wherein a bottom surface of the recess of the platform and a bottom surface of the base of the light assembly at least partially define a chamber for receiving a wire extending from the light assembly.

7. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 6 wherein a wire opening extends through the platform at the bottom surface of the recess for receiving the wire therethrough.

8. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 7 wherein the mounting foot includes a second chamber on the underside of the body for receiving at least a portion of the wire extending through the wire opening.

9. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 8 wherein the second chamber includes a removable plate for allowing access to the wire.

10. A mounting foot for mounting a light bar on a roof of a vehicle, the mounting foot comprising:

a body having an outer longitudinal end, opposite sides, and a top surface, wherein the body is adapted to be mounted on the vehicle so the outer longitudinal end is generally adjacent a lateral edge of the roof,

at least one platform adjacent the outer longitudinal end of the body, the at least one platform having an upper surface below the top surface of the body and an outer end generally adjacent to the outer longitudinal end of the body, said platform having a recess in the upper surface of the platform extending through the outer end of the platform, and

a light assembly including a base slidably received in the recess of the platform and a light enclosure mounted on the base, the base having a generally planar upper surface substantially flush with the upper surface of the platform and an outer end substantially flush with the outer end of the platform.

11. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 10 further comprising a track for guiding the base of the light assembly as the base is being slidably received in the recess of the platform.

12. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 11 wherein the base of the light assembly includes a tongue extending laterally outward from the base, and wherein the track is sized and shaped to slidably receive the tongue of the light assembly.

13. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 12 wherein the track runs generally parallel to the upper surface of the platform along a wall of the platform defining the recess.

14. A mounting foot as set forth in claim 1 in combination with a light bar mounted on the top surface of the mounting foot, the light bar having a longitudinal end margin disposed over the light enclosure of the light assembly so that the light assembly is between the platform and the light bar.

15. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 1 wherein a friction component is disposed on a lower surface of the platform for providing slip-resistant contact between the mounting foot and the roof of the car.

16. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 15 wherein friction component is adapted to secure to the lower surface of the platform by press fit connection.

17. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 1 wherein the light enclosure is rotatably mounted on the base.

18. The mounting foot as set forth in claim 17 wherein the light assembly includes a shaft extending from the light enclosure through the base of the light assembly, the light enclosure being rotatable relative to the base about an axis of the shaft.
