Patent attributes
A tail light assembly includes a lighting assembly and a control board. The lighting assembly includes a base plate and a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The control board is electrically connected to each of the LEDs. The control board receives an activation signal from a device. In response, the control board sequentially sends an illumination signal to LEDs of each of a plurality of groups of LEDs to thereby sequentially illuminate the groups of LEDs. The control board also selectively and sequentially sends a termination signal to LEDs of the various groups of LED, in alternating relationship to sending the illumination signal. The sequential illumination and turning off of the plurality of LEDs simulates motion of waves propagating across the base plate.
