  • Patent number: 11670900
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a lighting assembly for a vehicle can include a housing assembly and a set of adaptors. Vehicles today are often limited to specific wiring harnesses or connection types based upon manufacturer. Each adaptor of the set of adaptors can include a different connection type. The adaptors are interchangeably connectable to the housing assembly in order to vary the connection type based upon the specific wiring harness or connection type of the particular vehicle.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9004715
    Abstract: A modular lighting assembly for a modular frame piece comprising a power module, a heat spreader, a circuit board with traces that provide electrical pathways, at least one illumination element, and a cover. The circuit board is disposed upon the heat spreader, the cover is disposed upon the circuit board and encapsulates the circuit board, the power module is electrically connected to the traces on the circuit board. The traces on the circuit board are electrically connected to the at least one illumination element to enable power transfer from the power module to the at least one illumination element. The modular lighting assembly can be slidably disposed within a slot of a modular frame profile.

  • Publication number: 20050001124
    Abstract: A lamp mounting assembly for mounting a lamp, such as a LED lamp assembly, to mounting structure, such as a support bar for a prisoner screen in an emergency vehicle. The lamp mounting assembly includes a universal primary bracket that is mountable in upright and inverted positions to permit mirror image lamp mounting on opposite sides of a vehicle. The lamp mounting assembly further includes a hook bracket that is mounted to the primary bracket. The hook bracket cooperates with the primary bracket to clamp the lamp mounting assembly to the desired mounting structure. The hook bracket mounts to the primary bracket when the primary bracket is in the upright or inverted positions. The lamp mounting assembly further includes a tower bracket that is pivotally mounted to the primary bracket. The tower bracket mounts to the primary bracket when the primary bracket is in the upright or inverted positions.
