ABSTRACT:
An automotive warning and brake light arrangement includes a first lamp adapted to be mounted in the vicinity of a rear vehicle window, for emitting red light to alert a driver of a following vehicle that the leading vehicle's brakes are being applied. A second lamp in close proximity to the first lamp emits amber/yellow light to increase the visual consciousness and to warn the following vehicle driver of the presence of the leading vehicle and to improve the driver's awareness to the region of the leading vehicle's rear window at which the first lamp is located. A switching device associated with the ignition and braking systems of the leading vehicle energizes the first lamp only when the brakes are activated, and energizes the second lamp continuously when the brakes are released and the ignition system is ON.
