Warning light assembly

A warning light for attachment to a vehicle comprising:

• a generally planar thermally conductive longitudinally extending base having a pair of generally parallel longitudinal edges and a pair of longitudinally opposed ends;
• at least one light transmissive dome having a generally planar main body portion oriented generally parallel to said base, longitudinally opposed inner and outer ends, and sidewalls contiguous with and extending generally perpendicularly from said generally planar main body portion terminating in a bottom edge, said main body portion defining a shallow longitudinally extending dome channel, wherein said outer terminal end has an end wall contiguous with and extending generally perpendicularly from said main body portion and terminating in a bottom edge, said end wall oriented contiguous with and generally transverse to said sidewalls;
• a longitudinally extending panel sized to be received in said dome channel;
• wherein said longitudinal edges define a longitudinally extending dome-securing channel configured to receive said bottom edge of said sidewalls such that said light transmissive dome is longitudinally slideable along said base between said inner and outer ends, and wherein longitudinally sliding said dome along said base until said bottom edge of said end wall is configured adjacent one of said longitudinally opposed ends of said base defines an interior cavity;
• a plurality of LED warning light assemblies installed in said interior cavity of the warning light;
• a plurality of mounting assemblies for fixing said LED warning light assemblies in the interior cavity of the warning light;
• and
• a plurality of control circuits for selectively energizing the LED warning light assemblies.

A warning light assembly comprising:

• a thermally conductive longitudinally extending base having a longitudinal edge defining a longitudinal channel having a slot-shaped opening facing away from said longitudinal edge, a floor between said slot-shaped opening and an upstanding rib spaced laterally inward from said longitudinal channel, a longitudinally extending retention pocket defined between said rib and longitudinal channel;
• a bracket constructed of thermally conductive material, said bracket having a configuration complementary to said retention pocket and including a bracket upstanding portion, a bracket base portion configured to engage said floor in thermally conductive contact, and a bracket forward extension projecting into said slot-shaped opening, a bracket intermediate portion extending between said upstanding portion and said base portion defining at least one aperture aligned with said slot-shaped opening;
• a plurality of light emitting diodes mounted to said bracket upstanding portion in thermally conductive relation thereto;
• and
• a shoe having a sole configured to engage the base portion of said bracket, a toe arranged to extend through said aperture into said longitudinal channel, said shoe including a retainer laterally opposite said toe and positioned to engage said upstanding rib,
• wherein said bracket is intermediate said shoe and said base, with the toe of said shoe extending through said aperture into said longitudinal channel and said retainer engaging said upstanding rib so that said shoe retains said bracket to said base in a fixed longitudinal position relative to said base and said sole exerts downward force on said bracket base portion to enhance thermal contact between said bracket base portion and said floor whereby heat generated by said plurality of light emitting diodes is transmitted to said base.
