An electronic road beacon is provided with a flashing light. The beacon functions as a traffic alert device by being placed on the surface of a roadway or other surface. Accordingly, the beacon is designed to withstand the impact of a car, truck or other vehicle which may strike or run over the beacon. The beacon comprises three essential components. The first is a circular base plate having a raised annulus around the periphery which defines an interior opening and a bottom portion. The second component is a dome comprising a spherical lens having internal concentric radial freznel and at least one reflector mirror. The dome is mounted to the base plate and defines a sealed interior space that is protected from weather and other harmful conditions. The third component is a circuit board that is mounted to the bottom portion of the base plate in the interior space of the beacon. The circuit board contains solid state circuitry and a light emitting bulb. The light is focused and intensified by the dome. In addition, a magnetic,ON/OFF switch is activated by a magnetic key to operate the bulb.

L'invention porte sur un feu électronique de signalisation routière à éclairs servant à la signalisation d'urgence et se posant sur la chaussée ou d'autres surfaces. Il est de ce fait conçu pour résister à l'impact d'une voiture, d'un camion ou d'autres véhicules pouvant la percuter ou passer dessus. Il comporte trois éléments essentiels: le premier est une embase circulaire munie à sa périphérie d'un rebord surélevé délimitant une ouverture intérieure et un fond; le deuxième est un dôme comprenant une lentille sphérique ayant des découpes à effet de Fresnel radiales concentriques internes et au moins un miroir réflecteur, ce dôme étant monté sur l'embase et délimitant un espace intérieur fermé protégé des intempéries et des éléments adverses; le troisième est une plaquette de circuit montée à la partie inférieure de l'embase dans l'espace intérieur du feu. Ladite plaquette comporte un circuit transistorisé et une ampoule émettrice de lumière. La lumière est focalisée et intensifiée par le dôme. En outre, un interrupteur commandé par une clef magnétique permet d'allumer ou d'éteindre l'ampoule.
