Compared to a typical automobile, motorcycle stop lamps are simply too small to
attract immediate attention. This is especially true during daytime, when the
bright sunlight can wash out the red brake light.
tailBlazer overcomes this by
rapidly flashing the taillights the instant you apply the brakes. The flash rate
then slows down to a steady ON - this cycle lasts about 4 seconds. This flash
pattern is called a deceleration Warning.
Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) suggests that you pump your brakes at each
stop. tailBlazer does it
automatically, and by flashing the bulb filament at maximum brightness.

WHAT DO THEY SEE?
As soon as you tap your brakes, drivers behind you will see a rapid flash of the
brake lights. This sudden flashing invokes immediate attention.
WHAT WILL THEY THINK? tailBlazer uses a flash pattern, which
decays exponentially - a well-recognized deceleration warning. The attention to
the initial flashing now changes to a clear recognition that you're beginning to
slow down! Simply flashing brake lights or flashing them on & off will get the
attention of drivers behind you, but it doesn't invoke anything else. Every
split second of delay in their reaction time reduces your safety margin.
