If they're confused about my lighting then at least that means they are paying attention to me.
Being seen is good, but confusing other road users is not since confused people are likely to act unpredictably and cause crashes - and white lights on the rear or red ones on the front are likely to be confusing.
Your proposed lights look like they're rather dim by current standards. The headlight is only specified to put out 35 lumens as compared to all the MagicShine clones that are speced at 1200 lumens and probably deliver about 600. Those are available for about $20 and hard to beat on a visibility/price basis. Just keep them aimed down a bit so as not to blind and use the lower power settings when on MUPS with other users.
There are also much brighter tail lights available. I'd recommend getting at least 2 rear lights since if anything goes wrong with one you may not even notice it for awhile and would be vulnerable to traffic not seeing you in the meantime. Maybe a HotShot (bright but rather directional) and a Serfas Thunderbolt ( wide angle) pair of rear lights.
Total cost of the three lights should be not much more than what you proposed, but would be far brighter and more visible. And all are rechargeable so you wouldn't have additional battery costs.
