Traffic light violation indicator
First Claim
1. A signal violation indicator for signaling the phasing of a vehicular control signal having a control circuit including at least a first traffic lamp and a second traffic lamp, the signal violation indicator comprising:
- a light assembly, including;
a first light source in data communication with the control circuit; and
a second light source concentrically mounted about the first light source and being in data communication with the control circuit; and
a base assembly connected to the light assembly and being mounted adjacent to the vehicular control signal, the base assembly being configured to allow for selective directional control of the light assembly;
wherein the signal violation indicator is configured such that the first and second light sources are alternately activated in coordination with phasing of respective ones of the first and second traffic lamps.

Abstract
Provided is a signal violation indicator for signaling the phasing of a vehicular control signal. The vehicular control signal may have a control circuit including at least a first traffic lamp and a second traffic lamp. The signal violation indicator comprises a light assembly and a base assembly. The light assembly included a first light source in data communication with the control circuit and a second light source concentrically mounted about the first light source and in data communication with the control circuit. The base assembly is connected to the light assembly and may be mounted adjacent to the vehicular control signal. The base assembly is configured to allow for selective directional control or aiming of the light assembly. The signal violation indicator is configured such that the first and second light sources are alternately activated in coordination with phasing of respective ones of the first and second traffic lamps.

15. A signal violation indicator for signaling the phasing of a vehicular control signal having a control circuit including at least a first and a second traffic lamp and a control cabinet, the signal violation indicator comprising:
-
a light assembly, including; an elongate tubular light housing having a cylindrical shape; a first light source in data communication with the control circuit, the first light source having a circular shaped lens; and a second light source having an annular shaped lens circumscribing the first light source, the first and second light sources being coaxially mounted within the light housing and being configured to be alternately activated in coordination with phasing of respective ones of the first and second traffic lamps; an electronic module conductively connecting the first and second light sources to the control circuit, the electronic module comprising; a pod member mounted within the light assembly; and a circuit board mounted within the pod member and having light-emitting-diodes mounted thereon for illuminating the first and second light sources; and a base assembly connected to the light assembly and being mounted adjacent to the vehicular control signal, the base assembly including; a base housing configured to be mounted on the control cabinet; and a ball joint configured to allow for directional aiming of the light assembly, the ball joint comprising; an inner socket portion affixed to the base housing; an outer socket portion mateable to the inner socket portion such that the inner and outer socket portions collectively form a socket; a ball portion slidably captured within the socket and being rigidly affixed to the light housing; and a pair of ball joint tensioners extending through the inner and outer socket portions and being configured to clamp the ball portion within the socket. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
