Want the brightest, flashing auxiliary brake lights, any recommendations?

[boss hoss bill]

I've seen some bikes that have a really bright  strobe type light when the rear brake is applied.

These are additional ,auxiliary lights, not the actual brake light itself.

They look like police type strobes/eqpt red in color, I'm looking for any info from anyone who has installed them and what type you bought or anyone who can tell me where to look.
TIA

I'm using Whelen TIR3 that is intense! You can change the flash pattern to suit , or set it to solid. It is so bright that I've put a resistor in line to reduce it at night.

These are probably the brightest, but they are probably not legal anywhere for private vehicles.  Also, they are only super bright when left in a continuous flashing mode.... to have constant-on for a brake light, they lose quite a bit of brightness (thou probably still pretty bright).  Most states have limits on how long or how many flashes a brake light can have before it must stay on constant with no flashes.

I have this one on my wing; another will be going on the Valk this winter: http://www.soundoffsignal.com/product/ghost-rock-light

Very bright and gets lots of attention.  Unlike Whelen, this is available as a stop light - four flashes then solid.  Constant flash was more attention than I wanted.

If you want Ridiculous For a brake light them IMHO the LIN6 would be the way to go.  I have 6 of these installed on the rear of my work truck (Garbage truck) and have been pulled over because they were TOO bright.  Looking at them straight on they are blinding.

Another suggestion--These are American made to your order. Mine are set up to "High speed" flash the entire time the brake are applied.  I've had several other bikers comment about how very "noticable" they are in day light and ESPECIALLY at night. They are VERY bright because there are 10 of the large RED HD LEDs in each set.  I had two sets built together and so I have 20 very bright flashing RED HD LEDs mounted to the underside of my luggage rack, all in addition to the OEM tail/brake light.  Very simple installation--no special tools or wiring.  I just tapped into the OEM brake light wire.  I might mention that they are very reliable.  In the 6 or 7 years I've had them, not a single LED has failed, not even after I was rear-ended and the flasher unit was busted into several pieces!  It still worked!  Of course, I ordered a new set with the insurance $$.

I absolutely endorse the Whelan's!  It's a must have staying alive in NYC traffic.  The Whelan's plus Radiantz's LED replacement brake light are must have's.

 I've ran one of these for years on my interstate under the trunk and it is an eye catcher.     http://www.customdynamics.com/knight_rider_led_light_bar.htm

Maybe I should have started a new thread, but I have an observation on (some) rear LED lights.

I ride with small groups often, and several HD and Yami (stratoliner) cruisers factory leds show up poorly in direct sunlight.  You end up following the same guy for most of the day, and as we travel from sunlight to shade in the trees, the led running lights go from dim to super bright, and at first you think they have applied their brakes.  Next time you ride with (or behind) others watch for this.  The instant they go into the shade, the lights become MUCH brighter.  These are all leds behind red tail lens covers.  In direct sun, the brake lights show well, but not the running lights.

I used a set of these (but in RED not Fushia) applied to the saddlebag mounts between the fender and the saddle bags.  I wired them into the brake light circuit, so they only come on when the brakes are applied.  So, the space between the fender and bags is dark until the brake is applied, then these triple bright red LEDs come on with the other brake lights on the IS trunk.
Really pops and gets the driver's attention behind me.
I have been told that the rear blinkers are somewhat washed out when the brakes are applied, so I usually turn on the turn signal well before applying the brakes.

Thanks to everybody for some good information on this subject.

Gave me a lot of info/choices .

Hayhauler, FYI I sent you a PM.

Here is what mine look like at night.  The voids in the led's are the stems for the turn signals.  The lights really reflect off of the fender and bags.
