You can get mercury tilt switches. If you mount one at the right angle, it would activate the brake light while decelerating beyond a certain rate. Might be a problem getting it set so it works right, but doesn't come on on down grades.

Regarding that bicycle lighting kit on eBay...the brake light switch mounts on on the rear brake cable, just above the screw on the brake that holds the cable. When you pull the brake lever, it pulls the cable, and the switch hits the cable stop on the brake and closes. I hope you can understand what I'm saying; my powers of description leave something to be desired. Suffice it to say that the switch is clipped onto the brake cable, and when the lever pulls the brake cable, the switch presses against part of the brake, closing it.

A better solution would be the brake levers for an electric scooter that has brake lights. These are easily found on eBay or many web sites (like http://www.electricscooterparts.com/levers.html). These have the brake light switch built right into the brake lever - a much more reliable setup.

It shouldn't be any trouble at all attaching the brake sensor to linear pull brakes.

 

[eltatertoto]

ok, i heard prople saing that leaner pull rakes are expensive.... cant remember where though

Here's a possible solution to the brakelight switch dilemma, a brake light switch that fits into the cable stop on the brake lever:

Scroll down. It should be item seven or eight from the top. Pretty nifty.

I'm getting in a little late in the thread but I've built a system similar to the one you describe. I'm using a MR16 - 20 watt halogen spot for the head light and 12v amber and red auto lights for hazard and tail. Attached is a picture of my box and a wiring diagram, let me know if I can be of help.
