ABSTRACT:
A wireless taillight system is provided having a taillight module (150) removably mountable on a vehicle such as a wagon (125) being pulled by a farm tractor (100). Module (150) has at least one signal lamp illuminable by a wireless control signal transmitter module (200) having a power source carried thereby that, along with module (150), is preferably operable to transmit a feed-back signal to transmitter module (200) to provide the operator with information concerning one or more of: (i) the condition of the signal lamp; (ii) the condition of the power source powering the signal lamp and; (iii) whether the function selected by an operator has in fact occurred. In another embodiment a taillight module (250) is provided without feed-back capability and includes an adaptive logic mode for providing a visual and/or audible signal upon the occurrence of an event such as when the taillight module battery power falls below a predetermined value and/or an absence in receipt of the transmitter control signal has exceeded a predetermined period of time or in yet another embodiment reduces the power being delivered to the signal lamps by a predetermined amount or selectively reduces the number of signal lamps being illuminated by the power source or automatically provides a visual signal upon deceleration of the vehicle.
