Publication number: 20230151956Abstract: A lighted accessory and/or corresponding method of installation seamlessly replace an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) lighting apparatus and/or accessory. The accessory includes a front side and back side with a circuit board positioned therebetween. One side of the accessory includes translucent portion(s). The circuit board includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) which are aligned with the translucent portion of the front side of the accessory such that when the LEDs are illuminated, light is emitted from the accessory. The circuit board also includes at least one microcontroller and a radio-frequency interference filter circuit wherein the microcontroller controls the LEDs and the radio-frequency interference filter circuit mitigates RF emissions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2022Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Xiao Jun Tian, Conner Schramm, James P. Elwell, Matthew Thompson, Seth Hoogendoorn, Parker Freeman

Patent number: 11624488Abstract: A lighting assembly for use with a vehicle includes a light bar having a one or more circuit boards positioned within one or more housings wherein each circuit board includes light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted to a surface thereof. The light bar may be divided into portions wherein each portion has its own housing. The light bar is operationally connected to an electronic control unit (ECU), wherein the ECU controls operation of the light bar and its components. The ECU is operationally connected to an electrical system of the vehicle such that the ECU can receive signals, commands, and/or information from the vehicle. The ECU is adapted to control the light bar, including illumination of LEDs thereon, based on the signals, commands, and/or information from the vehicle. The ECU is further adapted to emit and/or control audio output based on the signals, commands, and/or information from the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2022Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: Putco, Inc.Inventors: Hiroyuki Sugiyama, Parker Freeman, Conner Schramm, James P.
