Inventors:

Mark Perkins - Las Vegas NV, US

International Classification:

F21S 8/10

US Classification:

340468, 362545

Abstract:

Described is a sequential lighting system that is controlled by a control circuit. The sequential lighting system includes a series of LEDs, a housing having a plurality of compartments or devices with each compartment configured to contain one or more of said LEDs and a control circuit operable to illuminate said LEDs in a pre-determined sequence to signify a current state of said vehicle or an intended maneuver of said vehicle. Such a sequential lighting system provides a more noticeable and visible image than conventional lighting systems which comprise an on-off illumination of one or more LEDs forming the turn signal. An integrated light sensor also provides means for controlling the brightness of the LEDs when activated according to external lighting conditions.
