Patent number: 11899052Abstract: A vehicle LED lighting outage detection circuit is disclosed for detecting a fault in the LED light and automatically increasing the power drawn from the light power supply in response to the fault. A complementary detection circuit is also disclosed for detecting the increased power draw and signaling a fault to an operator. The increased power draw can be selected to be in the form of a pulse that settles to a lower power draw state after a time to avoid excessive and wasteful power draw. The system can be mounted in a vehicle and, more particularly, to a semi-tractor truck.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Grote Industries, Inc.Inventors: Timothy W. Brooks, Eric Thorstensen, Christopher Busse
