Abstract: A system for a trailer has an interface to a tow vehicle that provides power and activation signals corresponding to a plurality of lights on the trailer including at least signal and hazard lights and an interface to the trailer that provides operative control over the plurality of trailer lights. A microcontroller receives at least the activation signals from the interface to the tow vehicle and operatively controls the plurality of trailer lights via the interface to the trailer. The microcontroller strobes one or more of the plurality of trailer lights at a rate perceptible faster than a rate at which the microcontroller flashes a signal light in response to a strobe signal.
