Quite possibly the funkiest, most useful, well kitted out little box we've seen for years. Leaps and bounds ahead of anything else on the market in terms of features and price, we present the Shift-I sequential shift light system.
|
Setting Shift Points
The lights can be set when to start and when to finish - digitally. No revving of the engine required. Make incremental changes accurately and adjust the display to show the rpm range you're interested in. Display mode can be changed while stationary (stopped or at idle) just by pressing the up or down button. 9 displays modes included.
Battery voltage indication
Automatically shows your battery voltage while cranking the engine. To see the battery level whlie travelling just hold the bottom button before turning on the ignition.
Great for checking the alternator/regulator voltage output.
Brightness control
Press both buttons together and you can now increase of decrease the brightness.
The Shift-I has a light sensor and remembers the brightness you set from full daylight through to night conditions.
Cruise mode dimming
After cruising for a minute the display will automatically dim. If you change speed the brightness will automatically be restored to normal.
Over voltage alert.
Shift-I will automatically flash the last two lights to warn you if your ignition voltage stays above 16bolts (adjustable).
This alerts you to a failed regulator which can cause damage to your battery electrics and light bulbs.

 How do I know if it will work on my vehicle?
Shift-I should work with all vehicles with a digital tacho signal and great effort has been placed into designing sophisticated digital filters to read a wide range of tacho signals. If you have a cable driving the tacho gauge, then Shift-I is not compatible.
At what RPM do the lights turn on?
You can easily set the RPM range? for example, you could set the first light to turn on at 1,000rpm and the last one at 8,000rpm, or have the first turn on at 4,750rpm and the last one at 9,350rpm. You don't have to rev the engine to set these points, in fact you can change them with the engine off. This also means you can accurately make changes.
Can I have them Flash at just the Shift Point?
Yes! One of the provided display modes will flash all the lights only when you exceed your set RPM point, just like a traditional shift indicator.
Can I program when the middle 5 lights turn on?
Not specifically. They are always calculated to turn on at even intervals between the set-points.
Can I Turn the display off?
Yes! Press the down button to cycle through the display modes, the last one is off. An alternative shortcut is to rev the engine while stationary above 2,200rpm and press either button. This toggles the display on and off. It is not recommended to try this while moving.
How quick does the display register the RPM?
Very quick! Even with its advanced tacho input filtering. The RPM measurement algorithm does not use the basic pulse counting technique, or frequency to voltage converters. The RPM is digitally calculated per pulse! The filter algorithm is biased to displaying an increase of RPM quickly. The exact time is dependant on the frequency of the tacho signal, however as a general figure, the display will respond to a change in RPM in less than 0.03 seconds.
How long will the Lights last?
These are top quality LEDs, and are driven well within their limits to ensure reliability. LEDs typically have an average lifetime expectancy of 100,000 hours? (11 years of continuous usage)!
How bright are the Lights?
Each light actually has TWO LEDs. They are quite bright and can be viewed from a wide angle! Even with full sun shining on them, you can still see them clearly.
Can you get one not so bright?
It has a light sensor and will automatically adjusts it brightness when it gets dark. So at night, it will dim down to a set level. You can also adjust what brightness you want and it will automatically remember.
Can I change the LEDs to a different colour?
There are two color options on the unit, the lights can be - Blue-Blue-Blue-Blue-Blue-Red-Red, or, Green-Green-Green-Green-Amber-Amber-Red, this can be specified when ordering. Opening the unit will void warranty and risks permanently damaging the sensitive electronics.
How are they mounted?
Two high performance acrylic adhesive foam pads are included, which have excellent resistance to ageing, water, most solvents and UV light. They stick really well to plastic, but not to vinyl (particularly those with protective waxes applied). They can be safely removed, however if in doubt, first test an area with a small piece in an appropriate place.
Is the Shift-I? Waterproof?
They are designed to be "weather proof"? which means they are splash proof and suitable for use on motorbikes or open cabin vehicles. The Shift-I? must be mounted behind a windscreen, where it is not subjected to the wind pressure or rain.
Do Fluke Motorsport stock the curved version of the Shift-I?
We can do both the curved (generally motorcycle use) and straight (generally car use) versions.
