No idea. I have the summit shift light, and I am sure it is a re-branded chineese version. Mine does well.

Re: who makes a non chinese made shift light.

This is what I have
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/atm-5334
I don't even use a tach, or watch it.
I program the shift light, and use it to shift at the track.
Super bright and accurate.
Been using it for 3 years now, and I bought it used.

I have one with a dial at the back of the Light also...
The Engine creates enough vibration, that I had to use a small "blop" of rubber-cement, to hold the **** in place.

I have only had to raise the Shift-Light RPM once...
Peel the "blop" off, and then replace the 'blop".
