Abstract

A safety lighting assembly enabled to cast light rearward toward the surface to which it is attached. The safety light assembly provides additional portions for emitting light in selected directions so as to facilitate situation awareness of the object.

Claims (11)

1. A safety lighting assembly, comprising:

a base portion having a rear surface attached to an object, wherein the base portion has a perimetral edge orthogonal relative to the rear surface;

a plurality of directional lighting units disposed along the perimetral edge, wherein at least one directional lighting unit directs light rays in a base rearward direction toward the object; and

a body portion removably coupled with a forward surface of the base portion, wherein the body portion emits non-directional light rays.

2. The safety lighting assembly of claim 1 , wherein light rays defined by the base rearward direction defines an angle of incidence relative to an attachment surface of the object, wherein the angle of incident is between thirty and sixty degrees.

3. The safety lighting assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a head portion removably coupled with a forward surface of the body portion, wherein the head portion emits directional light rays in a selected forward direction.

4. A method of increasing the visibility of a light-reflective surface, the method comprising:

attaching a safety lighting assembly on the light-reflective surface, wherein the safety lighting assembly comprises:

a base portion having a rear surface attached to the light-reflective surface, wherein the base portion has a perimetral edge orthogonal relative to the rear surface;

a plurality of directional lighting units disposed along the perimetral edge, wherein at least one directional lighting unit directs light rays in a base rearward direction against the light-reflective surface, wherein light rays defined by the base rearward direction defines an angle of incidence relative to an attachment surface of the object, wherein the angle of incident is between thirty and sixty degrees; and

a body portion removably coupled with a forward surface of the base portion, wherein the body portion emits non-directional light rays.
