Knight Riderz LED Light Bars


It's all about being seen these days and I have found a real "attention getter" for riders with trunks, tour paks, and saddlebag. Unlike most Motorcycle LED Light Bars these days that are just on or off, these feature a moving light traveling sided to side.
The Knight Riderz LED light bars mimic that classic TV series car from the 80's. The LED light pattern travels sequentially from side to side just like the car on TV.
Check out the video below to see it in action.

The design of these is what really sets them off from other light bars because they are a flush mount with the wires coming directly out the back(middle) of the Knight Riders Light Bar. Plus they come with 40" wire leads and have 3M double-sided mounting tape pre-applied to the back. You just have to drill one small hole to feed the wires through, peal the tape, and stick to the surface.
The come in Red, Amber, and Blue LED versions that are 4.75" or 7.5" long. The also come in colored or smoked lenses. Pretty cool if I do say so myself.
And, if your not into the "scrolling" LEDs they make them in versions that don't move at all.

The way they work:

Can be connected to any 12V DC power source. Simple 3 wire hook-up too. They work as both running lights and brake light.
LEDs will scroll from side to side (just like the Knight Rider car from TV) as the running light. When you apply your brakes the entire light bar will flash on & off 6 or 7 times and go on solid. This is a great attention getter to let drivers behind you know your slowing down and getting ready to stop.
Like I said before, there are models available that don't scroll but still flash 6 or 7 time and then go on steady. There is also a Knight Riderz Light Bar version that just illuminates at 1/2 intensity as a running light and then full intensity as a brake light( no scroll or flash). Makes a perfect 3rd brake light too.
Either way you go you won't be disappointed. They are brighter than hell and carry a lifetime warranty. You can find them at www.ChromeGlow.com.
You have to check out the video!

Color Changing LED Strips


Finally a color changing Flexible LED accent light that you can easily hide. Chameleonz LED Accent Strips & Kits by Radiantz is the answer.
These flexible LED strips are so versatile they can be mounted out of site in just about any application. Measuring a slim .150" thick (just over 1/8") and available in 3 lengths they work perfect for motor lighting, ground effects, saddlebag lighting, or just about anywhere on your bike.
Now here's the technical stuff: Each strip illuminates in 7 different colors using the Chameleonz Master Remote Control. You get RED, AMBER, BLUE, GREEN, TEAL, WHITE, & PURPLE.

The Strips:
3 different lengths - 1.5", 6", & 9". Flexible in every direction down to about 1-1/2" diameter. Each Chameleonz LED strip comes with 3M double-sided tape applied to back surface. A whopping 60" wire lead on each strip allowing you to illuminate a front wheel without having to extend the wires.
The 1.5" strips have a total of 9 LEDs. The 6" strips have 36 LEDs total and the 9" have 54 color changing LEDs per strip.
One of the best features of the Chameleonz Color Changing Strips is that they are sealed water tight with a clear sheathing protecting them from just about any road hazard or weather condition you may encounter. This feature is what makes them work so effectively as LED ground effects or wheel lighting.

The Chameleonz Remote: Each remote comes with 2 key fobs allowing you to control the fuctions of the Chameleonz Strips up to 75 feet away. No external switch on the bike to have to turn on when it gets dark! The remote has 7 different functions with a memory that remembers where you left off the last time you shut them off.
Mode1) Solid Color - pick from any one of the colors and leave it on that color. Includes 5 intensity levels as well so you can dim down the lights if you would like.
Mode2) Flashing Color - make any one color flash in 5 different speeds.
Mode3) Color Cycle - Automatically cycles through the colors in 5 different speeds.
Mode4) Color Fade & Cycle - Colors will fade on in one color then off and then back on in the next color. This will repeat through all the colors and then start over again.
Mode5) Solid Color Strobe - Choose from 5 strobe levels in any one color.
Mode6) Multi-color Strobe - Strobes from one color to the next at 5 different speeds.
Mode7) Morph - The coolest of all the features. Morphs from one color into the next giving you the appearance of many colors. This mode can be slowed down up 5 times. This is my favorite mode.

All the Chameleonz products can be purchased separately or as complete Chameleonz kits. Just visit www.ChromeGlow.com for all the details. Watch the video.
