  • Lighting system for pivotally mounting an elongated light bar to a support structure
    Patent number: 9096172
    Abstract: A lighting system configured to mount an elongated light bar to a mountable surface of a support structure, such as a roll bar, roll cage or other component of a motor vehicle. The light bar has a linear light module disposed in a housing that is configured to produce light therefrom. The lighting system has a first mounting assembly pivotally attached to the first end of the light bar and a second mounting assembly pivotally attached to the second end of the light bar. Each mounting assembly has a mounting member connected to a mechanism that removably attaches to the mountable surface. The mounting mechanism may be configured to clamp to a tubular or other shaped surface or abut against a planar surface. In one configuration, the mounting mechanism fully encircles the mountable surface. The lighting system may also include a mechanism for limiting pivotal movement of the light bar.
