Review on 🚦 Enhanced United Pacific Brake Attention Flasher Module for LED Brake Lights: Rapid Flash Followed by Steady On by Mike Marks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

First test very good

Installed on my Kawasaki street bike. I was initially disappointed when I adjusted the potentiometers and found that no matter where they were there was a 4 second delay before the brake light came on and flashed. I thought this might be a problem but I realized that when adjusting the brake stays on and the adjustment range becomes very sensitive and works very well allowing me to adjust very easily without lag. As far as installation goes, it's pretty easy if you're good with circuits. It's still easy for the inexperienced, but the instructions aren't very clear and are only meant to be installed on cars, not bikes. When installing on a bike, three wires typically come from the brake light module. This applies to both incandescent lamps and LEDs. One is ground/ground, the second is 12v always on and the third is a 12v on/off brake switch. You only need two wires for installation, the ground wire and the brake switch wire. The on constant is not affected. Figuring out which is which is fairly easy, either by trial and error or with a voltmeter or with a manufacturer's electrical circuit. Here are some common wire colors/assignments for most bikes. Each bike manufacturer can vary in colour, but they mostly share common colors 1) Solid black/black with yellow stripe - ground/ground 2) Solid red - 12VDC 3) Solid blue/blue with red stripe - stop switch signal. There are three wires coming out of the unit, set up is a little different than most other brands. Black, red and white. White is mass and black/red is power. Locate the brake switch wire and cut it off. The black wire connects to the wire coming from the taillight and the red wire connects to the wire coming from the bike. And of course the white wire is connected to ground. No need to cut the floor, just remove the insulation. I highly recommend soldering the connections so they don't come loose and you lose all your brakes.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
