Now, here the three channel monopulse technique appears in a
discussion of AUTOMOBILE TAIL LIGHTS for gosh sakes.


A sucker post is how we got there.


I asked two simple questions out of curiosity: Has anyone
else ever noticed those taillights? & What would be the
advantage to that design? I finally got an answer to the
second question. Nobody else has reported seeing them but
they definitely exist. I suspect you still don't know what
I am talking about.
Yes I have seen these taillights. According to a news article about them
there is a significant difference in how fast the new lights work
compared to the older conventional lamps. One time I was following a
truck that had diode lights on its trailer and conventional lamps on the
tractor. There was a very noticeable difference in the two tail lights.
The diode lamps were full on while the conventional lamps were still
thinking about glowing. Supposedly this converts to about 17 feet
difference at 55-65 miles per hour on the highway.
