Abstract:
1. A lighting control system for use on a vehicle, the vehicle comprising a motorcycle having a front wheel steerable by handle assembly, comprising: a winker switch and a hazard switch configured to be turned on and off selectively by a driver of the vehicle; and a controller, which operates in a winker mode for blinking either left or right lighting bodies having light-emitting diodes mounted on left and right sides of the vehicle when the winker switch is turned on, and a hazard mode for blinking the left and right lighting bodies simultaneously when the hazard switch is turned on, wherein the controller comprises: wherein the judging means determines that the hazard switch has been turned on when the judging means detects an input signal from either one of the left switch input port and the right switch input port and then, within a prescribed time, detects an input signal from the other of the left switch input port and the right switch input port, and further determines that the winker switch has been turned on when the judging means does not detect, within the prescribed time, an input signal from the other of the left switch input port and the right switch input port, and wherein the controller supplies the light-emitting diodes with electric power based on the judgment by the judging means that the hazard switch and the winker switch are turned on.
