Do everyone on the road a favor. Forget the strobe. Strobe lights are distracting, and overly dangerous to all those who see them. You're reacting to marketing hacks using the ability of LED sources to modulate efficiently to add just another "feature" to their products, despite absolutely NO evidence that it's necessary, a good idea or productive.

What makes you think drivers comming toward you don't see you? With all the death and injury to motorcyclists and scooter riders over the years from drivers turning in front of them, why is it only "The Cyclists" who feel the need to strobe their headlights? I propose it's because "The Cyclists" are typically knee shakingly paranoid of falling off their bikes. The unthinking adoption of, and dependance on helmets. Riding on the sidewalk. Riding against traffic. Helmet mounted lights. All evidence of excessive reaction to fear mongering by marketing hacks and bike club nannies.
