Hey, thanks..I didn't know how they were triggered. I looked for some kind of sensor on the posts around the corner but couldn't see anything. I guess I will have to watch for some marks in the road.

They are triggered by a system called a Henry Loop. Steel disrupts the constant looping and tells the light to change. I have had decent luck with a stop light trigger magnet, but in VA we are allowed to run it if it does not change AND if its safe after 2 cycles? My Adly has steel wheels so it trips them and my Burgmans low enough so it trips them to. I have heard that electric current can trip lights also. Thats why you see some bikes flash their high beams at a light while waiting all by themselves.

I take it the sensitive device is located in the center of the lane, so it would be easy to miss completely with a scooter. Anyway, lots of ideas for me to try. Thanks !

Be in the know on this! If this is a light that you regularly encounter you can call the city traffic engineers and ask to have the sensitivity adjusted so it picks up your scooter. I have only asked to have one light adjusted and they were on it within 2 days and it worked every time, then I moved!
