Publication number: 20210136899Abstract: A mountable automobile light fixture is configured to receive signals from a user controllable wireless controller, interpret the signals received from the user controllable wireless controller, and in response automatically control illumination of the mountable automobile light fixture, in both color and intensity. A processor of the mountable automobile light fixture is initially programmed to perform specific function(s) and/or strobe according to specific patterns. Thereafter, a user can select said specific function(s) for a scheduled and/or real-time performance. In some embodiments, the intelligent control is at least partially restricted from being reprogrammed by the user to serve other function(s), either by restricting the emission of light in at least one color and/or preventing specific strobing pattern(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2020Publication date: May 6, 2021Inventors: James P. Elwell, James P. Elwell, II, Joshua J. Burhite, Tian Xiaojun

Patent number: 10859229Abstract: A light bar has a circuit board positioned within a housing and having light emitting diodes (LEDs) which are mounted to a surface of the circuit board with surface-mount technology (SMT). The housing has wiring electrically connected to a controller. The controller is configured to receive signals from the electrical system of the vehicle, interpret the signals received from the electrical system of the vehicle, and in response automatically control illumination of independently controllable LEDs. The controller is initially programmed to perform specific function(s) and/or strobe according to specific patterns and is thereafter at least partially restricted from being reprogrammed by a user to serve other function(s), either by restricting the emission of light in at least one color and/or preventing specific strobing pattern(s).Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Putco, Inc.Inventors: James P. Elwell, James P. Elwell, II, Joshua J. Burhite, Tian Xiaojun

Patent number: 10775006Abstract: A light bar having an extruded housing with a curved cover portion and a flat back wall and flat side walls with a hollow interior. A circuit board positioned within the hollow interior and separated into a plurality of electrical segments. The circuit board includes a row of white, amber, and red LEDs which are fully encapsulated with an encapsulant within the housing. The ends of the housing are enclosed by end caps. The light bar is electrically connected to the electrical system of the vehicle and is installed using a plurality of adhesively attached clips and is controlled by a control box that interprets the operational signals of practically any commercially available pickup truck and outputs commands that controls illumination of the light bar. The compact size of the light bar facilitates installation of the light bar on practically any commercially available pickup truck.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2019Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Putco, Inc.Inventors: James P. Elwell, Tian Xiaojun
