Motorcycle brake light enhancement system

Abstract

A flashing motorcycle brake light enhancement system including a plurality of super bright light emitting diode (LED) modules which signal the driver of a following vehicle to slow down to avoid a rear-end collision. The application of the motorcycle's brake supplies input current to a plurality of (LED) modules via a flasher unit and connected wiring. The flashing circuit is controlled by a single, blinking light emitting diode, which is operated in combination with a resistor matched to a relay coil, to actuate a mechanical relay, which passes full battery voltage to the (LED) modules. In one embodiment the flashing (LED) modules are contained within weather-resistant housings which are attached in symmetrical arrangement and externally of the rear-mounted motorcycle brake light housing. In an alternative embodiment, the flashing (LED) modules and related components of the brake light enhancement system are mounted internally of the stock motorcycle brake light housing so as to be directed rearwardly and visibly to a driver in a following vehicle. The (LED) modules use very little electrical power and do not overload the pre-existing motorcycle brake light circuit. Further, this minimal use of electrical current causes no power variation and has no effect on the anti-lock braking system of motorcycle so equipped. The brake light enhancement system is provided in kit form so as to be adaptable to motorcycles of various manufacturers.
