Anti-collision light assembly

Apparatus for producing pulses of light in the visible spectrum comprising:

• a light generator, said light generator having a light emitting region from which light rays are radiated when the light generator is in a energized state;
• light transmissive cover means;
• means for supporting said light generator within said cover means, said supporting means positioning said light generator so that a portion of the light emitting region thereof lies on an axis;
• first reflector means positioned within said cover means on a first side of said light generator for intercepting and redirecting light rays radiating from said light generator, said first reflector means comprising a plurality of parabolic reflective surfaces, said reflective surfaces having a common focal point and being arranged about said axis, said common focal point being located approximately on said axis whereby light rays incident on said first reflector means parabolic surfaces will be redirected in directions which are generally transverse to said axis;
• and
• second reflector means positioned within said cover means for intercepting light rays radiating from said light generator, said second reflector means comprising a plurality of parabolic reflective surfaces, said reflective surfaces of said second reflector means having a common focal point and being arranged about said axis, said common focal point of said second reflector means parabolic reflective surfaces being located approximately on said axis and approximately coincident with said focal point of said first reflector means whereby light rays incident on said second reflector means parabolic reflector surfaces will be redirected in directions which are generally parallel to the directions of the light rays redirected by said first reflector means, said second reflector means being located along said axis at a second side light generator and in a generally facing relationship to said first reflector means.
