  • Publication number: 20100073948
    Abstract: A light bar may include a light head with chip-on-board (COB) light emitting diode (LED) and an optic component mounted adjacent to the COB LED. The light bar may comprise short and long center modules. The light bar may include a plurality of housing modules where each housing module includes a light head and a lens cover having a top portion that is substantially impervious to ultraviolet radiation, and a lens portion extending downward from the top portion in generally opposing relationship with the light head. The light bar may include a circuit board including a wire-to-board connector, and a light head including a wire-to-board connector mated with the wire-to-board connector on the circuit board to electrically connect the light head to the circuit board. The light head may include a holographic diffuser.

  • Patent number: 6595669
    Abstract: The device includes a visible light source and a transmissive/reflective layer on a vehicle. The layer is between the source and an observer and transmits emergency warning signals of various colors to the observer. In addition, the layer reflects ambient light so that when the light source is not illuminated the appearance of the device is changed and the emergency warning colors, if any, of the device are masked.

  • Patent number: 6585399
    Abstract: A visible light source adapted to be mounted on the vehicle for generating visible light to be used to create warning signals which are viewed by observers remote from the vehicle. A dichroic element adapted to be mounted on the vehicle and adjacent to the visible light source transmits at least some of the visible light generated by the light source and reflects at least some of the visible light generated by the light source. The transmitted and reflected light provides warning light signals within different wavelength ranges when viewed by an observer remote from the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 5452188
    Abstract: A light bar comprises a plurality of modules and a control circuit including a power supply for selectively energizing each of the modules. Each module includes a strobe lamp having an anode and a cathode for energizing the strobe lamp and having a trigger for firing the strobe lamp, a reflector positioned adjacent the strobe lamp to reflect light emitted by the strobe lamp and a circuit including a capacitor connected to the anode and the cathode for energizing the strobe lamp. The circuit of the module connects the capacitor and the trigger to the control circuit. An incandescent lamp or a high intensity discharge lamp may be used separately or in combination with the strobe. Multicolor operation or the use of LCD panels as filters or reflectors is also contemplated.
