Bright Ass Light Backlash???
#12
Yep, running mine for 2 years now. No problems. Run mine on medium and brake is the flash 6 times then steady BRIGHT.
I had a LEO come up to me and ask me where he can get one! I thought I was fixin to get a ticket, but instead got a compliment...

I've had mine about a year with no complaints from anyone. BTW...yesterday I was stuck behind a UPS truck here in NY and they run a similar brake light configuration with 4 very bright Flashing LED type brake lights. So I don't think there will be any problems with LEOs

Had mine for about 2 years, on bright all the time, flash to steady on brake cycle. If I am stopped and see a vehicle approaching from behind I often flash it a couple of times as an attention grabber, never had a complaint and I feel much safer for having the BAL.
I did have one fellow come up beside me and say he thought I might be a COP, what do you know, its all good.

I suppose it also depends on where you are driving, I think in NYC or Long Island it would probably get you killed, people would take it as a personal slight and attempt to kill you over it.

I have the HD LED's on my bike and do get the occasional person who flashes thier brights at me. Not many more than I did with my old bike without the lights in it though. The difference for me is huge. The lights are definitely worth it.

Very bright. I've had the 12 LED BAL-2 light for 6 or so months now.
No complaints from cars or LEO's so far. I have it on medium intensity and flash several times before going steady.

I guess maybe its different driving habits in different parts of the country.
I have had my BAL-1 for about a year now and have it set to strobe then steady max brightness.
One of the first things I noticed was that people would stop further back than before.
Granted you still get the occasional azz that wants to park on your rear fender. But even a laser wouldn't stop them all from doing it.
I have only had compliments on the BAL-1, it's not pissed anybody off that I know of.
