But we're talking theory at this point.
I appreciate that you have pointed out that bike tail lights are nowhere near as bright as car tail lights, so bring on the bright lights.
The point of this video is exactly that the Dinotte is brighter and more attention getting than any other light, especially the car tail lights - did anyone actually watch the video?
Just look at a screenshot:
What's the brightest light there? The Dinotte light - clearly.
And onto that that the car tail light do not blink in a rapid "pay attention to me" pattern. The car tail lights are a slow blink - the dinotte light is a bright strobe light level of "I'm here pay attention to me" blink. It's brighter, and it's more more aggressive blink pattern.
Bike tail lights are already brighter than car tail lights.
