Five or more taillights are more than I would want to deal with, particularly charging all of the batteries, but turning them all on and off would also be a hassle.
I have my single bright (Serfas 60 lumen) taillight cable-tied to my seat bag (see image). It isn't going anywhere (lesson learned the $ hard way). I take my bag off to recharge it
In blinky mode it lasts a very long time so I have no problem with keeping it charged up. A co-worker said he saw it about 1/2 mile away in the daylight.
