Systems and methods are disclosed for a police vehicle exterior light control. An example disclosed police vehicle includes first beacons positioned on a chassis of the police vehicle, second beacons positioned on a lightbar of the police vehicle, and a plurality of spotlights on the lightbar. The example police vehicle also includes a light control unit that tracks a location of wearable nodes associated with a police officer. Additionally, the light control unit illuminates the area around the police officer using selected ones of the plurality of spotlights.

A lighting system is provided herein. The lighting system includes a spotlight is mounted to a vehicle, a controller for operating the spotlight, and a pointer device for specifying an intended target. The controller aims the spotlight in the direction of the intended target based on input provided by the pointer device.

A work vehicle includes: a vehicle body that travels; a boom attached to the vehicle body to be vertically swingable; a work tool mounted to a front portion of the boom; a first illumination lamp that is disposed in the vehicle body and emits an illumination light forward; a second illumination lamp that is disposed in the boom and emits an illumination light toward the work tool; and an illumination controller that controls the first illumination lamp and the second illumination lamp, the illumination controller executing a lighting restriction of automatically turning off or dimming the first illumination lamp while the second illumination lamp is turned on.

Provided is a vehicle light system that can be usefully attached to a hitch receiver. The light system includes one or more lights attached to a frame. The frame includes a substantially horizontal central member, substantially vertical left and right members extending upward from the central member, and left and right extensions respectively coupled to the left and right members, each of the left and right extensions including at least one light. A hitch post extends from the frame and is configured to mount to the hitch receiver of a vehicle. The system can include an insulated power cord having a first end coupled to the one or more lights and a second end having a plug configured to connect to a power source of the vehicle. The one or more lights can be controlled by one or more switches, e.g., integrated with the frame or lights.

Vehicles may be composed of a relatively few number of “modules” that are assembled together during a final assembly process. An example vehicle may include a body module, a first drive module coupled to a first end of the body module, and a second drive module coupled to a second end of the body module. One or both of the drive modules may include a pair of wheels, a battery, an electric drive motor, and/or a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. One or both of the drive modules may also include a crash structure to absorb impacts. If a component of a drive module fails or is damaged, the drive module can be quickly and easily replaced with a new drive module, minimizing vehicle down time.

An auxiliary apparatus may be used with a vehicle having an electric plug. The apparatus may include an auxiliary lighting system having a front facing auxiliary light, a controller, and auxiliary wiring that transmits an electric signal from the electric plug. The controller may be programmed to operate the auxiliary light based directly or indirectly on an electric signal from the electric plug.

A system for illuminating an area around a motor vehicle, having: a pair of radar systems and a pair of lighting systems mounted on the motor vehicle; a vehicle level sensor configured to detect changes in pitch or roll of the motor vehicle; and an illumination control system in the motor vehicle. The illumination control system includes a key fob communication system and determines the location of a person by detecting the person approaching the motor vehicle by detecting the presence of the key fob while also detecting the location of the person with a radar system mounted on the vehicle. Next, when the location of the person has been determined, the illumination system lights up the area the person is standing while following movement of the person with the radar system to continuously re-directing the illumination towards the location on the ground where the person is standing as the person moves.

A motor vehicle includes a high-mounted brake light which is arranged on a rear part of the motor vehicle, and an energy source for making available energy for the motor vehicle. A charging plate is connected to the energy source, and the charging plate is arranged in a rear portion of the motor vehicle. The rear part is a wing of a spoiler, and a receiver coil is arranged in the rear part. The receiver coil can be coupled in a wireless fashion to the charging plate for contactless transfer of energy between the brake light and the energy source.

The vehicle courtesy light is adapted for use with vehicles. Specifically, the vehicle courtesy light provides for two signaling lamps that are installed in the electrical system of a vehicle. The two signaling lamps are configured to visually display courtesies initiated by the driver to the drivers of other vehicles. A first signaling lamp displays the phrase “Thank You”. The second signaling lamp displays the phrase the “U-Welcome.” The vehicle courtesy light comprises a mirror display, a rear display, a first switch, and a second switch.

An illumination device has a coherent light source that emits coherent light beam, and an optical device that diffuses the coherent light beam, wherein the optical device comprises a first diffusion region that diffuses the coherent light beam to illuminate a first area, and a second diffusion region that diffuses the coherent light beam to display predetermined information in a second area.
