Abstract
A search and warning light system is disclosed, in its preferred forms, as including a light assembly having first and second lamp assemblies. The light assembly is mounted about a vertical axis for rotation in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction and the lamp assemblies are mounted to the light assembly about a horizontal axis for rotation in either an upward or downward direction. A control module located in a remote location provides appropriate electrical input to the motors controlling the rotation of the light assembly and the lamp assemblies, and to the lightbulbs included within the lamp assemblies. The motor for rotating the light assembly is located exteriorly of the light assembly in a first embodiment and is located interiorly of the light assembly in a second embodiment. The lamp assemblies can be independently rotated by providing separate motors and drive mechanisms or can be rotated together by rotatably relating the lamp assemblies.
