Halloween & Birthday Weekend Special! 
Only £25 delivered.
I've had no failed units so far (over two years, since the first one was fitted - to my own car), so I decided to keep only four PCBs in reserve for warranty purposes, and assemble the remaining units.
Most of them were sold, but I still have two left (actually there's another pair I gave away as a promotion, to a chap in the racing game, but I haven't requested those back yet) - there won't be any more manufactured.
This is a private sale, however one year warranty will be honoured regardless.
These cost almost double that to make, I just want to clear the matter, and close this chapter.
The system is aimed at older vehicles, obviously.

Adaptive Brake Light System by Keep Ness Robotics
An adaptive brake light system, is fully independent of the vehicle's computer system. In fact, the idea was to be able to fit it to a 30-yr car, and that's what's been achieved.
The system will know not only when you brake hard, but also the direction of travel, which is its unique feature - and will alert the other road users to the emergency braking, just like the factory-built adaptive brake light systems in the latest models.
Unlike those cheap Chinese strobe units, it is legal and fully compliant with the current regulations, as it will only flash, when rapid deceleration in primary direction is detected, and will not fail you an MOT.
The system can be retrofitted into almost any car, and is small enough to be fitted inside a tailgate trim, or a boot lid, etc. A simple DIY installation is all that's required - the unit sits between your existing [third] brake light, and the signal wire from either the SAM, or the brake sensor in older cars. The only additional requirement is an 'ignition on' 12V feed.
It can also be fitted to flash all brake lights, but please check with me first, and consult your manual as to the wattage of your light bulbs, particularly for cars over 30 years old.
The unit will be supplied with a top of the range, genuine 3M Dual-Lock mounting pads, and a high density, closed cell, anti-vibration pad, to ensure the best possible fitting and prevent it becoming dislodged over time.
It can be mounted in any position, at any angle, etc.
If a DIY install is not something you're comfortable with, a professional should be able to fit the unit in 10-15 minutes tops, so shouldn't be too expensive.
The installation guide is below. Please contact me, should you have any questions.
Please note:
The deceleration threshold is set to 0.5G.
This corresponds to the UK Highway Code's definition of emergency braking for passenger cars, i.e. 60mph to full stop in 240ft or 73m.
It is not possible to change it.
This deceleration rate ( 0.5G = 4.9 m/s2 = 5.36yd/s2 ) might be too high for motorbikes, given the significant difference in weight and driving patterns.
