It doesn't seem to work at the traffic light it was purchased for. I added two cow magnets to my center stand ( 1/2" diameter & 3" long ) and it still didn't make a difference.


I think it's more of the activation strip than the magnet unit itself.

Yea mine isn't any better. I think it helps on the ones that would change if I put my kick stand down but it's completely ineffective on the ones that don't work with the stand.

I'm sorry (although not surprised) to hear about the bad luck with the signal trigggers, guys.

I know in Arizona (where I used to live) state law says that if a light doesn't change for you after a reasonable period of time you can treat it as a malfunctioning signal and run it when it is safe to do so. I've actually successfully used that defense in traffic court and at the roadside, but YMMV.
