  • Patent number: 9358921
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) signal lamp includes a lamp housing having at least one light opening, a power connection mounted on the lamp housing for connection to a power cable, a plurality of LEDs mounted within the lamp housing to shine through the at least one light opening when powered, and a control circuit for supplying electrical power to the plurality of LEDs via the power connection. The control circuit is configured to permit the LED signal lamp to safely, reliably and effectively interact with wayside control systems designed for incandescent signal lamps.

  • Publication number: 20100060462
    Abstract: The present invention describes a rescue light with a LED light source that meets a minimum requirement of 0.75 candela (cd) of intensity, over a full hemisphere of visibility, with a duration of 8 hours or more. The invention requires only 3 volts of battery power from relatively small batteries, making the invention small and lightweight. In one favorite embodiment the LED is a specially constructed device that uses a blue LED die enclosed with a uniform layer of phosphor on the outer surface of the LED body, which provides an equally bright white light in all directions. Due to the low power requirements of the LED, the device can easily produce white light over an entire hemisphere at the required brightness level for longer than the required amount of time.
