I hear you, but a BRIGHT red blinker is your best buddy at least in some riding conditions. Talking DAYLIGHT use here.
Put it this way. I'll never know that the distracted driver who would have made my wife a widow and my children orphans instead had his eye GRABBED by my bright red blinking taillight and didn't hit me. He'll just drive on by, instead. But it's worth $50 to buy that particular insurance.
