ABSTRACT:
An automated, illuminated address display and entrance light for mounting on the exterior of and near the entrance of a building to enable a visitor during periods of darkness to locate and have the entrance to the building illuminated upon the visitor's approach to the building is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, it comprises: (1) a housing having an interior panel that separates the housing into a front and a rear compartment, with the housing having transparent top, bottom and front surfaces, (2) a first hinge that allows the interior panel to be folded forward to allow access to the rear compartment behind the panel, (3) a second hinge that allows the front surface to be folded outwardly thereby providing room so that the interior panel can be folded forward, (4) a first light source mounted in the rear compartment to provide light that passes through the transparent top and bottom surfaces to illuminate the area around the housing, (5) a second light source mounted to the front surface of the interior panel for illuminating the housing front surface, (6) an electrical control circuit for turning on and off these lights, and (7) address indicia on the housing's transparent front surface.
