Would Red LIght Tripper affect Spider Electronics?
A friend of mine who rides to work thru a lot of lights wants to try one. Only question I'd have is whether it might affect Nanny or her siblings?

I have had one on mine for over a year now and no problems. Works great

They work well... won't mess up Spyder at all....
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

Which one do you have? I have a few lights that don't change for the spyder. Either I have to wait for a car or take a right and then u-turn.

It was a lead left on my way to work...used to have to run it all the time because it wouldn't trigger.

Worth buying?
So, do you guys think it's worth picking one of these light trippers up? I've seen them on eBay for <$15.

There was a guy in Carlsbad, CA, this week who got arrested for using an electronic version of this (only legally used on firetrucks and ambulances), and was fined $2000.
They were able to track him after noticing an annomoly in the timing of the signals. Just a heads up to be careful of what kind of tripper you're purchasing.

Q: Wouldn't one of those heavy-pull magnet assemblies work better?
A: Actually no. Lifting assemblies are made by enclosing a magnet in a frame of steel plate. The magnetic field tends to stay inside the plate rather than spreading out into the surrounding space. The result is a high field density between the assembly's poles but very little elsewhere, so you get a strong magnetic pull, but only up close. The flux isolation base of the Green Light™ Trigger is designed to hold the Trigger magnet away from your bike's frame, preventing that kind of field collapse.
Q: Is that why the Trigger doesn't hang on to the frame as strongly as a bare magnet would?
A: Yes. We don't allow it to close-couple to the bike's frame, so it doesn't waste its field on sticking to the bike. That way it can be more effective on the signal loops.

Totally different thing. These Green Light Triggers only help make the presence of your motorcycle known to the sensors in the ground... so you don't get stuck by a turn signal not thinking there is a vehicle there.
