Because trikes are so low, even bright lights are less noticeable. I used to use the NR universal and PB superflash, but I'm convinced that while those might be suitable for uprights, you're really better off with a Dinotte.
I followed a friend who had a Dinotte taillight- it was so bright my night vision was lousy and I couldn't anticipate bumps and potholes.
My Schmidt dynohub and B&M light work well, but not to the extent of my old Niterider. The nice thing about is I never have to worry about the state of charge or sending the battery pack to be rebuilt. In my opinion, lights are used to light up the road- if you want to be seen, it's better to wear bright clothing, like a yellow jacket. I see lots of riders with little blinkys and wearing dark jackets... and they're very tough to spot.
