Imagine what 100 feet would look like for highway speed? To put it in perspective, 20 feet is less than safe following distance at 25mph. At this distance, it's already hard to see the yellow portion of the tail light because of the size. Now, if we push back this illustration as if the tail light is 20 feet away as is shown on the right, you start to see the advantage of the standard Non-Sequential Integrated LED Tail Light over the Sequential Integrated LED Tail Light. In other words, there may be a 'cool factor' but not necessarily an increase in visibility It's a draw based on personal preference, and not necessarily functionality. It's hard to consider it being any better than the Non-Sequential tail light however. In this illustration, it seems that the Sequential Integrated LED Tail Light is effective in properly indicating a turn signal and the direction to the right. Basically, this is a view of the tail light with your eyes right immediately behind the motorcycle. Let's call this a view from 1 foot distance from the motorcycle tail light. If you look at the illustration on the right, you can see a simple representation of a Sequential Integrated LED Tail Light on the top, and a Non-Sequential Integrated LED Tail Light on the bottom. To illustrate the relative effectiveness of Sequential VS Non-Sequential Tail Lights for motorcycles, we can use some simple illustrations. Keep in mind, a motorcycle tail light is often less than 6 inches wide.

There have been cars on the road with sequential turn signals from the factory - so it must be effective, right? Well, when it comes to motorcycle tail lights, and Integrated LED Tail Lights for that matter, it is actually LESS effective to have sequential turn signals based on our study.
