Abstract: A method of controlling a plurality of lights on a vehicle lighting system provides a first and second light having a first and second processor. Each is in operative communication with a bus establishing an operative communication between the first and second processor. A master processor is arbitrated among the first and second processors. Thereafter the master processor signals the first and second processors to execute a preconfigured flash pattern.

Abstract: A light beacon includes a base, a plurality of towers supported on the base, a first set of LEDs having a first color mounted on each of said towers and a second set of LEDs having a second color also mounted on each of said towers. A microprocessor in operative communication with each of the first and second LEDs is configured to illuminate the first set of LEDs through a defined channel either simultaneously or sequentially, at a user's option through a user interface. The processor is further configured to illuminate the second set of LEDs through a defined channel either simultaneously or sequentially at a user's option. A lens mounted on the housing directs light from the LEDs in a preconfigured distribution.
