We knew they lit up during alert conditions, but that's about it. I don't think TPTB ever established their purpose. Any speculation?
What are these things for??
- Thread starter Wil has a posse
- Start date

Their custumizable klaxon alert lights. The bridge crew can have a different image every month to break up the boredom of regular red alert situations. 
Pretty much.
I don't think they really did anything they where just there to look nice. They might have SOME computer function to adjust/monitor/whatever whatever is behind the wall there.
Also, anyone notice how perky her boobies were back then? 
I was notcing how rough her face (and neck) looked and that god-awful wig from the first season. But, also, the lighting, makeup, and film-stock from the first season wasn't the best.
But, yeah, I guess the Twins look pretty good.

It's the "call turbolift" button or something?
I imagine the bridge's turbolifts are always there. Not only does the bridge lifts have a spot for a spare car, but we've never seen anyone ever wait for a turbolift on the bridge.
I imainge there's no need for a "call" button for the lift since the system probably just senses someone waiting by the doors and brings the lift itself. But there IS a little panel by the corridor lift doors that, presumably, has the call button on it (again, assuming one is even needed) and I think we've actually seen this happen.
Plus. It seems too far away from the lift to be the call button.
Micahel Okuda had about 30 minutes of free time one day. The result is the interface panel shown above.
And yes, McFadden was hot.

Gates McFadden used her own hair in Season One. She has thin, frail hair that very quickly loses its body and style under hot studio lights. When she returned for Season Three, the production supplied her with a range of very expensive wigs.
Riker and Shelby had to wait for a lift in THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
And unless there's something hidden behind Crusher's elbow, that is the closest panel to the turbolift. Most likely it's a call button only used if the normal door sensors are offline. It might also be a manual control for access to the Bridge (to keep invading baddies from simply taking the lift up and jumping out to kill everyone.)
It always amazed me that there was always an elevator car waiting in the turbolift shaft whenever someone walked thru the doors even if someone else had just previously left a second before. Maybe there's an assigned number of elevators cars waiting in a storage or waiting area by each door and the panel is a status panel for how many is currently at that door since it's a high volume entrance??
