Difference between XP-60 and FastFlash 60

I have several bikes so I ordered both Fast Flash and XP-60 simply because they don't explain the difference between them so I will. it is here. The XP-60 will flash your brake light or any other light when activated. The Flash sequence is slightly different or appears to be slightly different than Fast Flash. The XP-60 has 1 quick flash, followed by 3 quick flashes, followed by 3 slightly longer flashes and then a nice even glow. Far from being a frenzied flasher, the XP-60 is flashy and will draw the attention of those behind you without spooking them. A fast flash is just a FAST, very fast flash. Activation is very fast (2-3 times faster than XP-60) 3 flashes, then 3 flashes like XP-60, first flashing then solid on. Quick Flash - Crazy attention grabbing attention! This will wake up the people behind you! They will surely get annoyed when they follow you in constant motion. Their installation was very easy. Follow the fireman's harness from the taillight to where it connects to the main harness. There you can disconnect your rear light. You should have 3 wires, power, ground and a lightbulb. Power for the permanent part of the taillight, the brake cable is what you need, and the ground too. The flasher block is clearly marked for input and output on both sides and has 2 wires on both sides. Connect (+) to the power wire and (-) to ground. Turn on the key on the bike and your light should look normal. Press the pause and you should get a flashing sequence before it becomes steady in the bright light of the pause. I add two small LED taillights under the plate so they flash and stay on all the time as long as my brake light is working properly. So you can add up to 60W of light with these little boxes or bundles of LED bulbs (because they use almost no electricity). The whole connection process is very simple and only takes a few minutes using just your breaker. . Of course, if you add light like I did, it takes a little longer. They supply you with a really strong double sided tape to stick this tiny box anywhere you have space. The box size is very small, maybe 1/2 to 1/3 of a credit card and 1/3 inch thick. It's smaller than it looks, so even on road bikes you'll find plenty of places to find it. They work fine, I'll post some videos when I connect them both to the bikes. I've added two marker LEDs back to my bikes that I bought from Superbright LED.com. They are also sold here on Revain.
