JeffB502: Hey, I'm not trying to be an @ss. I carry a picture of my 2 year old with me when I ride, as a reminder to be safe.
I think most drivers have a much simpler understanding of what lights mean:
steady -- normal vehicle
1/2 sec on, 1/2 sec off -- vehicle with emergency lights, pay attention and be careful
strobes of any color and arrangement -- emergency vehicle
I'd like to see the Dinotte taillight do the 1/2 sec pattern. It's my opinion, and only my opinion, that running two Dinotte taillights on strobe is a little abusive.
Of course, the good part of this whole discussion is that bike lights have finally reached a point where the old adage "just because you can doesn't mean you should" is becoming relevant.
