VEHICLE LIGHT BRACKET ASSEMBLY
A light bracket assembly includes a mounting bracket and a hollow member. The mounting bracket is configured to be connected to a sport bar of a vehicle. The mounting bracket includes an upper member, a lower member, and at least one support member. The lower member is configured to be connected to the sport bar. The least one support member extends between the upper member and the lower member. At least one opening is disposed in the upper member. Each of the at least one openings is configured to receive a light. The hollow member is configured to be connected to the mounting bracket. The hollow member substantially continuously surrounds the at least one support member.
LED SEARCHLIGHT AND METHOD
A searchlight assembly has a first housing portion and a second housing portion, wherein each of the first housing portion and the second housing portion has operably secured to form an enclosed space: a heat sink, a reflector and a lens. The first housing portion and the second housing portion being are joined to form a housing assembly. The first housing portion heat sink and the second housing portion heat sink are disposed adjacent to one another and form a cooling medium flow path there between, and the heat sink elements of each heat sink thermally communicate with the flow path. A first LED is directly thermally coupled to the heat sink within in the first housing portion enclosed space and a second LED is directly thermally coupled to the heat sink within the second housing portion enclosed space.
SENSOR SYSTEM FOR MOTOR VEHICLE
A light bar assembly can comprise an elongated housing mountable to a roof of a motor vehicle and comprising a plurality of light transmissive sections. The light bar assembly can further comprise two or more light sources disposed within the elongated housing, and one or more sensors disposed in an interleaved configuration with the light sources. The light bar assembly can further comprise a controller communicatively coupled to the light bar via a wired interface including data wires and electric power wires. The data wires can be communicatively coupled to the sensors. Each sensor can be configured to output an electrical signal responsive to detecting a physical object within a spatial sector. A projection on a surface sustaining the motor vehicle of each spatial sector can be provided by a circle sector. The combination of all circle sectors can compose a sensing perimeter. In one embodiment, the sensing perimeter can be provided by a full circle with a center disposed within a projection of the motor vehicle onto the surface. Alternatively, the sensing perimeter can have an arbitrary shape configurable via a user interface.
Police vehicle exterior light control
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.
Head tracking control system for controlling an auxiliary vehicle light
A system for controlling an auxiliary vehicle light is described, whereby a wearable controller that may be worn on a user's head or coupled to an article of clothing located on a user's head is useful for transmitting a position and orientation of a user's head to an auxiliary vehicle light located on a surface of a vehicle. The auxiliary vehicle light may include a pivotable body capable of panning, tilting, or rolling. The wearable controller includes sensors to determine an orientation and angular displacement of a user's head. Both the auxiliary vehicle light and the wearable controller includes transceivers for wirelessly communicating with each other.
