Official Zepto Lights Group Buy UNDERWAY!!

Help Support Buellxb Forum:
Just an update:
The Group Buy has been EXTENDED!!! Due to an issue with my set of lights - which Mike is making right (please see the video that I'll be posting soon) - Mike wanted to ensure that people waiting for my review have plenty of time to order.
Once again, the group buy is EXTENDED!! The new closing date is now the 24th of November - so you guys/gals have an additional two weeks to order these awesome lights!

Very nice.
I'll throw my 2 cents in.
I have 1 set in Amber and 1 set in red.
Everything hooked up on test bench, all working with no issues.
Few tiny tiny bubbles in epoxy, but nothing that bothers me or blocks light output.
(I'm talking tiny bubbles)
RUNNING LIGHTS: Red and Amber
You can have these stay solid or pulse on a few different speeds. This would be an awesome feature if there was a "sync" wire that you could connect. On any of the settings, it doesn't take long for the pulses to get off from each other and looks funny. ( I do a lot of work with Whelen warning lights at work, they have a sync wire that keeps all the lights timed perfectly)
So without a sync wire, I'd have to run them steady on (no pulsing)
TURN SIGNAL: Red and Amber
Some different flash patterns to pick from, but I'm not sure how they will work with the turn signal relay installed.
There is not one for solid on in bright mode. This would solve the issue and would work great with a relay.
I'll have to play around with it on the bike, I might just take the relay out all together.
There's a real fast flash that might end up working great with the relay, few pulses real quick, relay shuts off for a pause, then back on for a few more real quick pulses and so on.
BRAKE LIGHT: Red
On the red, you can have it be running light with turn signals Or running light with brake light.
If you pick brake light, all the patterns flash. So you would not be able to have a solid brake light.
Now, I know they say having your brake flash will catch attention better, but I personally just want it to be solid.
( You can NOT have it be running light, turn signals and brake light all at once, it's turn signal OR brake light )
All-in-all... These are damn cool little lights!
Brightness is very good for its size, and I would say I'm pretty picky in that area.
Construction is AWESOME! Great metal casing.
No rubber stalk to dry rot in a year. Very solid and MADE IN THE USA!!
I will be recommending these to my customers.
I'd buy them again in a heartbeat!
Once I get my bike home from the day job (on-call this past week) I'll get them installed and see how I like them off the test bench on on my XB.

I have a stupid question not being an electrical engineer or overly handy with electrons. In the description of the Zepto it mentions an in-line light controller, is this the same thing as the flasher relay (ELF2) that prevents the quick blinking? Or is that a separate item that needs to be purchased to make this work proper?
Lastly, if it's the latter scenario, I assume you need to buy 2 (one for the front pair and one for the rear)?
Thanks for entertaining my slow mind!

It's just a module that controls the LEDs. Watch my review - I show them in there. I'm 90% sure you will still need an led flasher relay for them to flash at the correct rate (if keeping the flasher relay) - or remove the relay entirely. Again, I cover this in my video.
