Abstract
A method of illuminating a region outside a vehicle, and a system for accomplishing the method, the method consisting of the steps of: receiving a signal from outside of the vehicle; activating, in response to the receiving the signal, at least one lamp within the vehicle; and illuminating, in response to the activating of the at least one lamp, the region outside the vehicle. The illumination is at least 180 degrees around the vehicle and includes projecting light from the at least one lamp within the vehicle to the region outside the vehicle. In variations of this embodiment, the illuminating includes intermittently illuminating the at least one lamp by projecting light in a flashing manner from the at least one lamp within the vehicle to the region outside the vehicle.
Claims33
A method of illuminating a region outside a vehicle comprising:
- receiving a signal from outside of the vehicle;
- activating, in response to the receiving the signal, at least one lamp within the vehicle, the at least one lamp oriented to provide light substantially horizontally;
- and
- illuminating, in response to the activating of the at least one lamp, the region outside the vehicle, and at least 180 degrees around the vehicle, wherein the illuminating includes projecting light from the at least one lamp within the vehicle to the region outside the vehicle.
A remotely-controlled illumination system comprising:
- at least one lamp for providing illumination at least 180 degrees around an automobile, the at least one lamp oriented to provide light substantially horizontally;
- a remotely controlled switch coupled to the at least one lamp;
- a power source selectively coupleable through the remotely controlled switch to the at least one lamp;
- a housing coupled to the at least one lamp;
- and
- means, coupled to the housing, for positioning the housing within the automobile.
A method of illuminating a region outside a vehicle comprising:
- receiving an audio signal;
- activating, in response to the receiving the audio signal, at least one lamp within the vehicle, the at least one lamp oriented to provide light substantially horizontally;
- and
- illuminating, in response to the activating of the at least one lamp, the region outside the vehicle, and at least 180 degrees around the vehicle, wherein the illuminating includes projecting light from the at least one lamp within the vehicle to the region outside the vehicle.
