L.E.D. light assembly for traffic arrowboards

Claim 1

An L.E.D. light assembly for traffic arrowboards comprising: an upright oriented lens having a height H1, a width W1, a peripheral edge, a front surface and a rear surface; a plurality of adjacent vertical flutes each having a left edge and a right edge are formed on said rear surface and a plurality of adjacent horizontal flutes each having a left edge and a right edge are formed on said front surface; in viewing said lens from the front or rear of said lens, the respective viewable intersecting left and right edges of said vertical flutes and said horizontal flutes define a grid of light magnifier modules; said grid has a central core portion of light magnifier modules and a surrounding portion of light magnifier modules; said light magnifier modules each having a height H2 and a width W2; said light magnifier modules each having an axially extending substantially horizontal X-axis and said X-axes are substantially parallel to each other; an upright oriented base having a front end; a housing having a front end and a rear end; said rear end being connected to said base and said front end being connected to said lens; an upright oriented printed circuit board that is mounted in said base; said printed circuit board having a front surface that is positioned a distance D1 behind said lens and D1 is in the range of 3/4"-21/2"; said X-axes of said light magnifier modules extend rearwardly to said front surface of said printed circuit board; several L.E.D.'s each having a longitudinally extending axis are mounted on said front surface of said printed circuit board and said longitudinal axes substantially coincide with said respective X-axes of said light magnifier modules of said lens; there is an L.E.D. on most of said X-axes of said central core portion of magnifier modules of said lens and there is an L.E.D. on most of said X-axes of said surrounding portion of magnifier modules on said lens; said light magnifier modules of said central core portion having means for projecting axially forwardly a spotlight beam of light having an intensity in the range of 600-1000 candelas; said light magnifier modules of said surrounding portion of light magnifier modules having means for dispersing light rays in a pattern having a vertical angulation in the range of 0-15 degrees and a horizontal angulation in the range of 0-30 degrees, said light intensity of said surrounding portion of light magnifier modules being in the range of 200-800 candelas.
