An exhaust or Jake brake is basically just duplicating the inherent compression braking of a gas engine. I don't see any reason for turning on the brake lights every time you lift your foot with either engine.
Not exactly. Some Jake brakes have as many as three levels of braking which can be selected by the driver. Some of those levels are much stronger than a gas engine's compression braking.
