Abstract

A light providing improved visibility during adverse conditions includes an array of discrete lights distributed over a surface. The discrete lights are configured to distribute directional light over a three-dimensional space. A regulation and multiplexing circuit is coupled to the array of discrete lights and configured to power discrete lights such that the regulation and multiplexing circuit strobes the discrete lights in accordance with environmental conditions to reduce or eliminate perceived streaking of precipitation or debris to improve operator visibility.
