A warning light includes a lens or cover is tinted with a grey or “smoke” tint that is not spectrally selective or alternatively referred to as “neutral density” in that it reduces transmission of all colors of light equally. The objective of the neutral tinted “smoked” lens is to reduce the conspicuity of warning lights when not in use. Ambient light penetration into the warning light is reduced by the proportion of tint and then light reflecting off the optical surfaces within the warning light are reduced again when passing through the tinted lens on the way out of the assembly. The resulting warning light appears dull and is less conspicuous than the same warning light or lightbar with a clear lens. The tinted lens or cover may include optical elements configured to re-direct light, and the entire lens or cover is molded from the same tinted plastic material.
