ABSTRACT:
A windshield mounted combination emergency light/spotlight mechanism for automotive vehicles such a police cruisers, fire trucks, ambulances, etc. includes a housing which is mounted by bonded supports to the inner surface of the windshield, preferably at the same location normally occupied by a centrally located rearview mirror. Within the housing is located a movable spotlight and a pair of flashing emergency lights which can be incandescent lights or strobe lights. Filters are also located within the housing to provide colored flashing light. The spotlight, which may be a high intensity halogen spotlight, is mounted to a pivotal support which is selectively movable by a mechanical or electrical mechanism actuated by a manually actuated control lever. The housing fits intimately with the inner surface of the windshield and prevents rearward reflection or refraction of light into the automotive vehicle. The housing is also provided with a mirror stud to which may be secured a rearview mirror assembly and is provided with manually operable on-off switches for selective illumination of the spotlight and emergency lights. Radio and or remote control circuits may also be provided to permit operation of the spotlight and emergency lights from a location outside of the emergency vehicle.
