Abstract
A light bar contains one or more rows of light-emitting diodes (LED's) in a housing which extends across substantially the entire width of a windshield of a vehicle and is narrow in width to minimize interference with visibility through the windshield.
The housing directs the illumination out of the windshield and minimizes stray light. The LED's are arranged in banks, two of which are tilted in opposite directions to each other so as to project light toward the right side and left side of the vehicle. The LED's may be illuminated continuously or in selected sequence, as established by the user with a switch on the housing.

The LED's are arranged in banks, two of which are tilted in opposite directions to each other so as to project light toward the right side and left side of the vehicle. The LED's may be illuminated continuously or in selected sequence, as established by the user with a switch on the housing.
