It is still visible but not blinding. But we don't care about bozos running red lights in the next lane over, do we? When this unit set on one of the many available blink modes it still captures attention of anyone behind you at any angle.

BTW I think that unit has lasers instead of LED's. Checkov, we got Clingons approaching at six o'clock, give em a blast of the aft facing photon phasers. Ba-zappo! They'll fall way back, squinting and blinking. Worth every penny to maintain a little comfort zone! By preparing and defending ourselves as best as possible, we will, by default, get a wider window to roll on and enjoy...safely. And at times enjoy a tiny bit of fun rooted in pure vengeance. Just kidding.... No. I'm not. If you go riding with your buds you can just dim it down a few notches. Get one, get noticed, and get respected. This is good old American safety innovation at its best.

I pulled up along side him at another light and asked what kind of tail light he had and it was one by Bright *** Lights that he had bought at a HD dealership right where we were almost at. He led us to the dealership and showed me the display and the brake light has 21 different settings for the flash pattern, they were $200 at the HD shop. I have been hit in the rear in my vehicle and I'm very paraniod on our bike when pulling up to stop lights, especially in busy areas, and I really liked how much this light gets your attention. It was bright enough that I don't think anyone would want to be very close behind you for any ammount of time. Does anyone have one of these, or know of any issues with them, I'm thinking about ordering one. brightasslights.com

Ive been an engineer (driver) for the Charlotte Fire Dept. for 5 years and a 15 veteran and can not count how many of our fire trucks that have been hit from behind, in the side whatever by drivers even though the emergency lights and flood lights were on day or night. point being, it may help but the only real security is watching your mirrors vigantly and keeping the bike in gear. every situation is different, but no matter how bright or how many lights you have is no fail safe for being aware or you everone around you. ride safe.

However, there's always one or two in rush to the next red light or get that 2 or 3 second lead to the next red light. They work both day and night and night is 'mind blowing' Bright!

Easy install, if you can handle a screw driver and understand the settings which is easy then its a fifteen minute or less install. I have the magnet in the side bag for easy strobe changes when I want to change them. Running 3 flashes and then steady for now and again...People do see it.

I had a dealer that said they sold them to but when pressed to buy one they said it had poor side visibility...but they wanted to sell me 400 bucks worth of other lights. I opted to order online instead. They work & good!
