ABSTRACT:
A multi-colored LED biasing circuit that allows users to selectively choose the colors for a given state or condition. A user will assign by use of switches which color of a multi-colored LED will light on the presence of an electronic signal representing a state or condition in need of a visual output. One embodiment for a tri-colored LED will allow a user to select a base color for when no signal is present, the base color selected between a first color, and a second color and a secondary color for when a signal is present, the secondary color selected between the opposite of the base color (first or second color) and a third color. The invention is also embodied as a secondary flasher/brake indicator for automobiles that can be embodied in a number of different forms such as a stick shift knob having indication areas, a figurine having suction cup mounting means or hanging means for placement within the vehicle, or an integrated rear view mirror having indication areas lit by multi-colored LEDs. Again, the user will select a base color for the indication areas that corresponds to one color in a tri-colored LED and a secondary color for when the flasher or brake is operated. The base color may be selected between a first and second color while the secondary color may be selected from the non-chosen base color and a third color.
