Brake pressure/ brake lights

[HandyAndy]

I,m not sure which section to put this query into as it is related to brakes & Lights......

I have fully bled my brakes & to be honest very pleased & relieved that it was a "Pain free" task, got very good firm pedal pressure, no leaks etc.

BUT

I,ve rigged up some rear lights ( changing them as not happy with the way they look),
My question is, when I press the brake pedal the rear brake lights don,t come on as quickly as I thought they would or should, basically my brakes are working before the lights come on, If i just lightly apply my brakes the lights don,t appear to react unless I use more pressure on the pedal...as if I,m braking hard.

Any suggestions please?

cheers
