That looks fine also, but...there appears to be a significant difference that may or may not matter to buyers.

The WebElectric module has a delay feature, explained on their website, that keeps the light from flashing every time the brakes are applied, for instance in stop and go traffic. It will not flash if the brakes are applied within approximately 15 seconds of the previous application. This, IMHO, is a nice feature that keeps the person behind you from being annoyed by the flashing.

The other one, if I read the comments correctly, flashes every time the brakes are applied.

It will be up to the buyer of course if that is worth more than double the price. Personally, I prefer the WebElectric logic.

I also use this item on my Goldwing and believe me in something small, you want to get noticed EVERY time you hit the brake pedal

I got behind a first generation Honda Odyssey with one of these on it about a month or so ago. It must have been the linked one, because there was no delay. Spending 30 minutes behind this thing in traffic (could not switch lanes - it was maddening) made me want to ram it... God that was annoying.

Which is why I prefer the WebElectric one.

We will have our Gen2 Pulsar on our website this weekend.

Our Gen2 Pulsar is pulse configurable, meaning you can select Long (9 Pulses) or Short (5 Pulses) pulses during install. We have also developed SmartPulse technology, which allows you have the pulsar stay solid in traffic. This can also be be turn off when installed so it will pulse all the time. We have also increased the ability if the pulsar to work on all third brake lights not just LEDs. The unit is also still small and silent.......we have included all the features of our other units and added the feature of the smart pulse. The unit is going to retail for $29.99. It is a bit more expensive but is all solid state technology.

I'm just going to say that the flashing 3rd brake light is one of the most annoying things out there.

Front and rear used by people that feel entitled to use them because they are there paid for and have no clue as to what they are for or carry there own personal supply of fog on clear nights get my most annoying vote flashers on the brake are way down the list. lol

Please, correct me if I'm wrong, and I probably am.
Fog lights are located as close to the ground as possible, to light up potential obstacles below the glare of fog. That's why the optimum use of fog lights should be below the fog, without any parasite light from sources above, such as low beams. But fog lights have to be installed in such a way that it is not possible to use them without the low beams, thereby defeating its intended purpose. Right?
Unless fog lights are more "to be seen" than "to see". Do I detect a paradox?
