This is a great thread! The sarcasm is evident, but to the OP's credit, no matter what the response, you got responses! Like Kelly Bundy said in Married...With Children: "they may call me bimbo, but at least they call me".
On a serious note, I ride a lot at night. In the city I feel fine with one rear light on my helmet and sometimes one on the frame, but I ride into the suburbs a bit, too, and there the roads are twistier, darker and car speeds are higher. I really like your setup and might rig something like it for just such occasions. Thanks for posting!
