Signal Dynamics BackOFF Brake Light Flasher Module
Maximize your Brake Light Effectiveness with BackOFF. This compact solid state electronic module converts your ordinary brake light into an attention getting visual alerting device, creating more visibility and conspicuity when you are stopped or stopping. With BackOFF installed, when you apply your brakes, it causes your brake light to automatically emit a visual alerting signal of 3 short light flashes, followed by 1 steady on light condition of 3.5 seconds. This signal automatically repeats itself as long as the brakes are applied. This pattern is not random, but has been selected because of its ability to gain and retain following drivers attention
.
Most states drivers handbooks recommend that you flash your brakes when slowing or stopping. The BackOFF automatically facilitates compliance and enhances safety. Install the BackOFF and see how much more effective your brake light can be.

What is the difference between the BackOFF Brake Light Flasher and BackOFF XP Brake Light Flasher?
The Back OFF only has one mode, in which the brake light flashes 4 short and then 1 long (3.5 seconds), and repeats this pattern as long as the brakes are held. The BackOFF does not work with LED lighting. Due to state regulations, which require a specific flashing pattern, it is not legal in California.
The BackOFF XP has two modes, the first, in which the brake light flashes 4 short and then 1 long (3.5 seconds), and repeats this pattern as long as the brakes are held. In the second mode, the brake light flashes 5 short and then remains steady on as long as the brakes are held. The BackOFF XP will work with LED lights. The BackOFF XP is legal in all 50 states. However, due to state regulations, which require a specific flashing pattern, California residents must use User Selected Mode 2.
What is the difference between the BackOFF Brake Light Flasher and the BackOFF Wig Wag Brake Light Flasher?
The Back OFF only has one mode, in which the brake light flashes 4 short and then 1 long (3.5 seconds), and repeats this pattern as long as the brakes are held. The BackOFF does not work with LED lighting. Due to state regulations, which require a specific flashing pattern, it is not legal in California.
The BackOFF Wig Wag is designed for use with motorcycles equipped with two brake lights or a brake light housing with two bulbs, located side-by-side. When the brake is pressed, the two bulbs flash an alternating left-right pattern, four times, then three flashes with both bulbs together, then both bulbs continuously on. The pattern may repeat or end, depending on the user selected mode chosen.
Will the BackOFF Brake Light Flasher work with the Tri-Star XP Turn Signal to Brake Light Converter?
Yes. The BackOFF is compatible with the Tri-Star XP.
However, to prevent confusion by following drivers from flashing both turn signals while making a turn, we recommend the following installation when installing both modules:
1) Install the Tri-Star XP per the instructions.
2) Install the BackOFF between the Tri-Star XP and the brake light. This will allow only the center brake light to flash.
