Abstract: An apparatus for simply retrofitting pre-existing vehicular incandescent hazard flashing lamps or strobe assemblies having high voltage wiring with low voltage, low-cost, two wire synchronized strobe lamp assemblies without requiring the altering of the vehicle's existing structure or wiring. The apparatus utilizes a high voltage d.c. to d.c. converter circuit which may be completely contained within the lamp housing so that no high voltage wiring will be routed through the vehicle. The strobe trigger circuit operates by sensing the ground potential at its input to trigger the strobe assembly's flash tube. This feature allows the synchronization of all circuit lamps, both incandescent and strobe, on a two wire flasher circuit without the need for a third wire to provide the trigger signal to the flash circuit. One embodiment of the invention works autosynchronously in conjunction with a standard electromechanical flasher relay as may be utilized in a typical vehicular warning light system.

Abstract: A dual lamp fixture having an integral power supply and control circuit. The dual lamp fixture utilizes stroboscopic and incandescent lamps mounted near the focus of a parabolic reflector which may be actuated alternately, individually or simultaneously. Multiple lamps may be connected in parallel to a DC power bus and a differential line, twisted-pair communication bus to achieve a variety of controlled flashing patterns. Each lamp will perform its given tasks when an appropriate command signal is placed on the communication bus. To take full advantage of this distributed control and the advantages in bus-wiring topology, the power supply is located in close proximity to its controller and light fixture.
