problem is that in dense fog any strobe light won't indicate your position and if seriously bright facing forward the back scatter will blind you. I'd stick with bike specific lighting and simply amp up the wattage. Dinotte headlamps have a good strobe function, their tailamps are extremely bright. Check out that Petzl TikkaXp
I grew up in dense fog and it seems like bright strobes just light up an indistinct area without sufficient duration to fix position which is what you really want if cars are passing at 3' away at 35mph and you're going 10-15mph.
