Patent ID: 7218214

Claim:
An auxiliary safety lighting system for a vehicle comprising: a. an H-field backscatter generator system including: i. an encoding microprocessor electrically connectable to at least one light circuit; and ii. an H-field backscatter signal generator modulated by said encoding microprocessor and adapted to generate at least one encoded electrical signal indicating the application of electrical power to said at least one light circuit; b. a magnetic coupling receiver system located separately from said H-field backscatter generator system, said magnetic coupling receiver system including: i. a demodulator in wireless communication with said H-field backscatter signal generator and adapted to receive said at least one encoded signal; and ii. a decoding microprocessor electrically connected to said demodulator; and c. a light display electrically connected to said decoding microprocessor, said light display comprising at least one illuminatable lamp.
