Product Description
BE SEEN! If you're not seen by others around you, you're in trouble. Most Drivers don't expect to see anything smaller than a car. They may be looking right at you, but a small motorcycle just won't register. With so many automobiles equipped with Daytime Running Lights (DRL) on the road, motorcycles have a hard time standing out. PathBlazer headlight modulator makes a motorcycle 200% more visible. P115W-S unit is totally self-contained. There are no hidden boxes or switches. There are no wires to cut or splice. P115W-S unit is designed for 3-pin H4 or a Japanese H7 2-pin style headlights. It's 1.25" (32mm) round, and requires NO ADDITIONAL SPACE after it's plugged on the back of the bulb. PathBlazer circuit modulates the hi-beam current - from 100% ON to about 17% OFF. This is accomplished by using a p-channel MOSFET, which is inherently safe. The MOSFET is designed to fail in the ON state. For additional safety, the circuit DOES NOT utilize the lo-beam whatsoever! MAX power rating is 115 watts. P115W-S comes with a detachable daylight sensor, which simply plugs into the PathBlazer. The daylight sensor functions as a switch; it stops modulation when it cannot see enough daylight. Since the internal circuitry is controlled by a microprocessor, which allows for customizable features. Programmable Daylight Sensor If you turn the high beam on and then turn the ignition on three times quickly, the sequence is interpreted as an active command to change the sensitivity. The daylight sensor has a low frequency filter to avoid false triggering. Please note that florescent lamps may not trigger the sensor - it needs constant incandescent light. PathBlazer uses a soft-switching technique. It throttles the current flow through the bulb filament, so that there's no "thermal shock" due to a sudden inrush of current, which can damage the bulb filament or shorten it's life considerably. This is far superior than maintaining a small voltage!
