WIRELESS TOW LIGHTING SYSTEM of the Invention A temporary lighting system for vehicles in tow comprises a pair of radio frequency controlled lighting assemblies that each include a rechargeable battery as well as magnets for coupling of the assembly to, for example, the trunk of a disabled vehicle. A transmitter is mounted within a cab of the towing vehicle and is electrically connected to the brake and turn signal circuitry of the towing vehicle in order to transmit a coded wireless signal to each of the lighting assemblies. A receiver in each lighting assembly decodes the signal and illuminates a bulb within the assembly in order to signal drivers behind the disabled vehicle that the operator of the towing vehicle is about to effect a turn or has applied the brakes. The bulb of each lighting assembly also includes a filament which can be automatically or manually energized to serve as running lights. (Docket No. 19904) |
