Found a spot on the front that a 12" light fits very nicely. Trying to convince Reggy at TricLed to make a knight rider mod for me so this light bounces back and forth here like KITT.

I could make it do that, but only if there are 8 LED segments in the string. One of the programs for the Butterfly microcontroller does that with 8 LED lights.

The strip is 12" made of 2" segments... So... 6 segments

You'd just have to be careful about where you run it... I'd be guessing, but I think that it wouldn't be allowed out on the highway...
(But it WOULD be cool! )

With white lights, it may be legal, similar to the headlight modulator products. The federal law states it has to modulate 240 cycles per minute +/- 40 cycles. Also, can not modulate the headlight at night. With red lights, it would be a problem I am sure.

With the Butterfly controller, you could program many different lighting settings. daytime running lights (all lights on steady), off, Knight Rider, all flashing, random flashing patters....

Nice catch!
I hadn't thought about a "Knight Rider" style white light being referred to as a "modulating headlight"...

I'm not sure you could get away with a " modulated " headlight either as they are not supposed to be able to run at night, that's why they have a sensor to make sure they don't operate at night

true, but means another switch of some sort and then possibly another just to turn the lights on/off

seems to be such a hassle for a "conversation" piece . I guess maybe on a show bike that never gets ridden
