ABSTRACT:
A pulsating lighting signal for use on a motorcycle includes front and rear strobe lamps powered by a headlight strobe circuit and a taillight strobe circuit, respectively. The trigger signal from the headlight strobe circuit is coupled through a manual switch to the front strobe lamp and therefore may be rendered operational by the driver at will. The trigger signal generated by the taillight strobe circuit must pass through a clutch relay which will pass the signal when the clutch is engaged and a throttle limit switch which is closed when the throttle is closed. This throttle limit switch may also be bypassed by a manual switch at the driver's discretion. A clutch limit switch controls the clutch relay and is mounted on the vehicle's clutch linkage. Similarly, the throttle limit switch is mounted on the vehicle's throttle linkage. Finally, the trigger signal generated by the taillight strobe circuit is also applied to a brake relay, which has as an input thereof a signal from the vehicle's braking system. Thus, when the brakes are applied, the brake relay will allow the trigger signal to pass therethrough to the taillight strobe lamp.
