"Our Knowledge Section"

Here's what makes a real difference in high amperage electronics. Roll over our circuit board.	Others	Motorcycle dealers have called asking for information about our headlight modulators because their customers keep asking for a modulator. They tell us they really need something better than the brand they'd been getting through a distributor because it kept failing so they'd stopped selling modulators. This is unfortunate but tells us to keep doing what we do because - "We're surely doing something right".
The answer to your question "Do we actually build our own circuit board assembly?" YES and right here in Tucson!

Don't overlook that Kriss headlight modulators are legal in U.S. (all states)

"ISD" Cool Energy Modulation"© (Here's something you should read)
There's an important design feature that separates a Kriss headlight modulator from others on the market aside from our exclusive "Shade Delay". The program code for our microprocessor sets an "Instant Step Down" (ISD) method of controlling the current flow to the bulb. Our circuit design creates a more crisp and brighter modulation because it doesn't waste current with a heat generating delay like those that slowly throttle down the current flow. It's a characteristic of a mosfet (the switching transistor) to get hot when changing state slowly so we put in the additional engineering to make it work fast. When the filament is at peak temperature our "ISD" sets the bottom level with lighting speed allowing the filament to cool naturally according to the design and material of the filament used in the bulb. An obvious benefit is that the filament is not going to be stressed by operating outside it's metallurgical limits. Our modulators last longer because they run cold and don't create life shortening heat like the others you'll find on the market.

Separate low beam and high beam model bikes are normally limited to a single light during low beam operation. With the Kriss Illuminator the high beam bulb will work like a low beam that's easily switched to high beam. Now the lighting is more integral and looks just like a dual headlight system.

Original wire ratings are protected with the simple connection of a power safety circuit, that's built into the unit, so the wiring is not overloaded during low beam operation using the second bulb.

Kriss "Easy TouchWire Programming" © (programming internal code is simple, being accomplished at the unit, by touching a wire to +12 volts and doesn't require any external hardware or computer) gives you the flexibility to change from our shade delay to instant response to any light changes.
"Kriss Shade Delay"© exclusive in Double Eagle Modulators is designed into the operating code so the modulation is not interrupted during those brief moments when you pass under an overpass or behind a shaded area like a large tree, hill or building. Our modulator in the only unit available with a delay for light changes that's an actual time delay in the software code and not an external adjustment to the light sensor. Adjusting the light sensor simply interferes with the normal shut off and turn on times, established by the d.o.t. regulations, which isn't very useful much less functional.
If you prefer not to use the shade delay because you like instant reaction to light it takes just a few seconds to change the program that's being used.

is built into the standard Double Eagle circuit design because it modulates only one headlight beam and the circuit is independent of the other beam.
The Kriss engineering design incorporates the latest technology and should the modulated circuit fail it will usually operate like a normal bulb and simply stop modulating. If some unusually catastrophic event happens like a major short circuit or overload that damaged the circuit board then you always have the stock direct circuit to the other beam which is not connected to the modulator circuit, that's real protection.

Headlight modulators cannot be used on High Intensity Discharge bulbs. (HID uses a ballast to ignite a gas inside the bulb rather than a filament)
