     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to  FIGS. 1 through 5  thereof, a new light fixture device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
     As best illustrated in  FIGS. 1 through 5 , the light fixture assembly  10  generally comprises a housing  12  that has an outer wall  14 , a top wall  16  and a bottom wall  18 . The outer wall  14  of the housing  12  extends between each of the top  16  and bottom  18  walls of the housing  12 . The top wall  16  of the housing  12  is open. The housing  12  may be positioned on a vehicle  20 . 
     A front side  22  of the outer wall  14  of the housing  12  has an opening  24  extending through a front surface  26  and a back surface  28  of the front side  22  of the outer wall  14  of the housing  12 . The opening  24  has a pair of arms  30  extending away from each other at an angle. The opening  24  has a chevron shape. Additionally, the opening  24  is centrally positioned on the front side  22  of the outer wall  14  of the housing  12 . 
     A lid  32  is provided. The lid  32  has an outer edge  34  extending between each of a top surface  36  and a bottom surface  38  of the lid  32 . A back side  40  of the outer edge  34  of the lid  32  is hingedly coupled to the outer wall  14  of the housing  12 . The lid  32  selectively covers the top wall  16  of the housing  12 . 
     A pair of lips  42  extends upwardly from the top wall  16  of the housing  12 . Each of the pair of lips  42  is positioned adjacent to an associated one of a first lateral side  44  and a second lateral side  46  of the outer wall  14  of the housing  12 . The lid  32  extends between each of the pair of lips  42  when the lid  32  is in a closed position. 
     A first light emitter  48  is coupled to the outer wall  14  of housing  12 . The first light emitter  48  is positioned within an interior of the housing  12 . The first light emitter  48  emits light through the top wall  16  of the housing  12  when the lid  32  is positioned in an open position. The first light emitter  48  illuminates a work area. 
     The first light emitter  48  is one of a plurality of first light emitters  50 . The plurality of first light emitters  50  is evenly spaced apart and distributed around the top wall  16  of the housing  12 . The plurality of first light emitters  48  may each comprise an LED of any conventional design. 
     A second light emitter  52  is coupled to the front side  22  of the outer wall  14  of the housing  12 . The second light emitter  52  is positioned within an interior of the housing  12 . Moreover, the second light emitter  52  emits light through the opening  24  when the lid  32  is positioned in a closed position. An observer is notified of a hazard. 
     The second light emitter  52  is one of a plurality of second light emitters  54 . The plurality of second light emitters  54  is evenly spaced apart and distributed around the opening  24  in the front side  22  of the outer wall  14  of the housing  12 . The plurality of second light emitters  54  may each comprise an LED of any conventional design. 
     A primary power supply  56  is coupled to the housing  12 . The primary power supply  56  is electrically coupled to each of the plurality of first  50  and second  54  light emitters. Moreover, the primary power supply  56  comprises a power cord  58  retractably coupled to the housing  12 . The power cord  58  is selectively electrically coupled to the vehicle&#39;s electrical system  60 . The power cord  58  may be electrically coupled to the vehicle&#39;s cigarette lighter  62 . 
     A secondary power supply  64  is coupled to the housing  12 . The secondary power supply  64  is electrically coupled to each of the plurality of first  50  and second  54  light emitters. The secondary power supply  64  comprises at least one battery  66 . 
     A first window  68  is coupled to the top wall  16  of the housing  12 . The first window  68  completely covers the top wall  16  of the housing  12 . Additionally, the first window  68  may have a clear color so the plurality of first light emitters  50  emits full spectrum light. 
     A second window  70  is coupled to the front side  22  of the outer wall  14  of the housing  12 . The second window  70  completely covers the opening  24  in the front side  22  of the outer wall  14  of the housing  12 . Moreover, the second window  70  may have a red color the plurality of second light emitters  54  emits a red light. 
     A hook  72  is coupled to the second lateral side  46  of the outer wall  14  of the housing  12 . The hook  72  is positioned proximate the top wall  16  of the housing  12 . The hook  72  engages the vehicle  20  so the housing  12  is retained proximate the work area. 
     In use, the hook  72  is coupled to the vehicle  20  so the housing  12  is positioned proximate the work area. The power cord  58  is electrically coupled to the vehicle&#39;s electrical system  60 . The secondary power supply  64  is utilized if the power cord  58  cannot be electrically coupled to the vehicle electrical system  60 . The lid  32  is positioned on the open position to illuminate the work area. Additionally, the housing  12  is positionable so the opening is visible to the observer. The plurality of second light emitters  54  notifies the observer of the hazard. 
     With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
