Intelligent Lights for the Intelligent RiderTM
In addition to adding much brighter lights, the use of rapid acting LEDs in the brake light circuit reduces the time it takes for the lights to reach maximum brightness compared to a normal incandescent bulb. This allows the driver to see that you are braking sooner that he otherwise would, resulting in up to a 17 foot shorter stopping distance at 60 mph.
Another feature of P3 Lights is that when the brakes are applied P3 Lights rapidly flash. This rapid flashing signal has been shown by independent research to reduce the response time of drivers by an average of up to 0.2 seconds. This corresponds to another 17 foot reduction in stopping distance at 60 mph compared to conventional brake lights.
P3 Lights design retains the existing tail light rather than replacing it as other designs do. This provides three valuable benefits:
P3 Lights includes an intelligent microprocessor controller and two high-intensity LED modules, as shown on the right, plus all necessary connectors and mounting hardware. The intelligent controller provides conspicuity flicker, a high visibility feature unique to our lights, and also allows the lights to be reprogrammed for several different functions, as indicated below:
