Why do motorcycle lights pulsate?

Have you ever noticed a motorcycle's lights pulsating while it's running? Don't worry, it's not a malfunction. In fact, motorcycles are designed this way intentionally to increase visibility and grab the attention of other drivers on the road. The pulsing effect is created by the use of a modulation circuit that rapidly turns the lights on and off in quick succession. This causes the light to appear as if it's flashing or pulsating. The principle behind this design is simple- it makes the bike more noticeable on the road even from a distance, which improves safety for everyone sharing the road with motorcyclists. Pulsing lights are especially helpful during low light conditions such as dusk, dawn or at night when visual obstruction becomes higher. While some riders find these pulsating lights annoying and prefer steady light without blinking effects, there are many benefits to having them, particularly in terms of rider safety.
