A signal lamp configuration for directing high speed traffic and a solid state sequencer for selectively energizing the same are described. The signal lamp configuration includes a pair of arrows inclined in opposite directions and having intersecting tail portions. The arrows are sequentially energized by the solid state sequencer from tail to head to direct traffic around a hazardous condition on a roadway. The arrows may also be flashed ON and OFF simultaneously if desired.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This is a continuation-in-part of copending application Ser. No. 271,494 filed July 13, 1972 now U.S. Pat. No. 3883846 and assigned to the same assignee as the present invention.
An emergency light system which incorporates flashing strobe type of lights located along the aisle(s) of an aircraft, or other passenger carrier, would provide flashing arrows indicating the location of emergency exits. The sequential firing of the flashing lamps will further create the effect of a moving light beam to lead passengers toward the exit area(s). Also, with programmable control means, there can be stroboscopic type flashing lights to direct egress to only those exits which are open.
