Patent Images
1. A flashing light for an alarm system, comprising:
- a light source containing at least one light-emitting diode and a circuit for controlling said light source;
said circuit including a feed supply and a flash control device; and
a current converter connected in series with said light source and said flash control device;
wherein said current converter is an inductive down converter including a control unit connected in series with an inductor, an induction stop, and a resistor;
wherein said resistor, in conjunction with said control unit, is configured to maintain a current flowing to said light source constant during a duration of illumination;
wherein said flash control device includes at least one switch for actuating said light source and a microprocessor for actuating said at least one switch; and
wherein said microprocessor includes a data communication connection to a message bus of the alarm system.
