Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for emitting light from a header reel are disclosed. More particularly, systems, methods, and apparatuses for selectively emitting light from different portions of a reel header are disclosed. In some implementations, light is selectively emitted from different parts of a reel header based on a position of the reel header. For example, light may be emitted based on a position of the portion of the reel header as the reel header is rotated. The emitted light provides for illumination and operator visualization during, for example, agricultural operations performed at night or during low ambient light conditions.
