Safety brake light module and method of engaging a safety brake light

A safety brake light module configured to energize a safety brake light of a vehicle, the safety brake light module comprising:

• a voltage regulation circuit including a voltage regulator;
• a controller powered by the voltage regulation circuit;
• a power circuit including a power switch communicatively coupled to the controller, the power circuit having an output node adapted to be electrically coupled to the safety brake light;
• the controller comprising processing instructions configured to generate a safety brake light signal at the output node of the power circuit, the safety brake light signal configured to cause the safety brake light to illuminate in an illumination pattern based thereon, wherein:
• during a first braking event resulting from actuation of a vehicle brake actuator by a user of the vehicle the illumination pattern comprises a pulsing portion and a constant portion following the pulsing portion, and
• during a second braking event the illumination pattern comprises the pulsing portion and the constant portion following the pulsing portion when a time duration between the first braking event and the second braking event exceeds a first predetermined time period, and the illumination pattern comprises only the constant portion when the time duration between the first braking event and the second braking event does not exceed the first predetermined time period,
• wherein the controller is de-energized between the first braking event and the second braking event.
