Cyberlite - Anyone remember?
09/01/07 at 13:45:57
A number of years ago a product called Cyberlight was sold as a high-tech stoplight. It had a computer chip in it that regulated the rate of flashing of the bulb together with the brightness, ie. the harder you braked the faster it flashed and the brighter the light. The wave length of the light was such that it bypassed the usual brain recognition and response and went directly to the response center and action was immediate. Studies showed it cut a full second off the following vehicle's driver response time.
I used them on all my bikes and my autos as well. Over time I let them get away from me and now I am unable to find the parent company. Can anyone out there help me?

A suplemental brake light, two lights, amber in color, spaced about 2.5" apart, set of mercury switches to sense deceleration forces and to flash lights accordingly. Dates back to the '70's, maybe into the early '80's. AFAICT the company folded sometime in the early '80's. Pity, sounds like a good product.
I wouldn't mind finding a brake lamp controller that worked on deceleration -- I use engine braking rather extensively. Can find a bit of talk, but no products.

How about the throttle position switch used on some models CA? It could trigger a relay that started flashing the lights like the Senior Center coaches do , Max

Thanks for the input, folks. I guess the parent company went under. Too bad because these lights were just great! The idea of bypassing the normal recognition/action phase of the brain and going directly to the action part was the real quantum jump in concept.
