CONE LIGHT
First Claim
1. An emergency lighting apparatus for use with a cone-shaped traffic pylon, the cone-shaped traffic pylon having a circular bottom with a first diameter that gradually decreases to a second diameter at a circular top, the second diameter is smaller than the first diameter, comprising:
- a first body comprising at least a partial annulus with an interior opening having a third diameter that is larger than the second diameter and smaller than the first diameter such that the first body can be fit onto the traffic pylon and come to rest at a first position between the circular top and the circular bottom;
a first plurality of lights affixed to the first body; and
a first controller affixed within the first body and coupled to the first plurality of lights for controlling operation of the lights.

Abstract
A cone light is a light emitting structure that is placed on a traffic cone to improve the visibility of the traffic cone. The light cone includes a plurality of lights that are mounted to an outer surface of the cone light and a micro-controller that controls the illumination of the lights. The cone light also has a memory storing a plurality of flash patterns and the micro-controller illuminates the lights in the flash pattern selected by the user. Multiple cone lights can be used together with a master cone light transmitting a flash pattern signal to one or more slave cone light so that each of the cone lights is illuminated in a matching or coordinated pattern.

15. An emergency lighting apparatus for use with a cone-shaped traffic pylon, the cone-shaped traffic pylon having a circular bottom with a first diameter that gradually decreases to a second diameter at a circular top, the second diameter is smaller than the first diameter, comprising:
-
a plurality of bodies each comprising at least a partial annulus with an interior opening having a third diameter that is larger than the second diameter and smaller than the first diameter such that each body can be fit onto a traffic pylon and come to rest at a first position between the circular top and the circular bottom of the traffic pylon; a plurality of lights affixed to the each body; a master controller affixed within a first body of the bodies and coupled to the plurality of lights in the first body for controlling operation of the lights; a slave controller affixed within each body other than the first body and coupled to the plurality of lights in the body for controlling operation of the lights, the slave controller coupled to the master controller which operates a control scheme for the lights of all bodies. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
