1. A multi-color signal light comprising:
- light means comprising at least one color LED means disposed longitudinally along the extent of a hood means and at least one incandescent lamp means disposed in the hood means and spaced from the color LED means;
the hood means comprising tube means having an outer light permeable tube surrounding an inner light permeable tube, the outer tube having means for diffusing light transmitted through the inner tube;
the hood means having a longitudinal interior divided by diametrically disposed partitions to form a chamber for respective color LED means, the partitions being supported by the tube means;
a power source means electrically connected to the color LED means and the incandescent lamp means for energizing the LED means and the incandescent lamp means;
at least two switch means connected to the power source means and respectively to the color LED means and the incandescent lamp means for selectively and independently electrically connecting the power source to the color LED means and the incandescent lamp means;
the switch means being disposed on a longitudinal extension of the hood means;
a printed circuit board disposed in and supported by the tube means, the board supporting the color LED means; and
an adapter extending longitudinally from the hood means and connected to the hood means for supporting the incandescent lamp means.

Abstract
A portable multi-color signal light having at least two color LED, such as red or blue or green or yellow, with or without covering color films, and at least one incandescent lamp, with or without covering color films. Independent switches allow for the selective operation of the LED and the incandescent lamp. The power source may be disposed within the signal light or relocated to a cell box to be worn on the belt of the user to provide weight decrease for long-term usage. The signal light may be used as a signal light for traffic control and illumination.
