I don't think there would be any reason to use amber (or white) on the rear.

There are a number of day lights and rechargeable lights on the market, as well as lights taking any size imaginable of battery.

I dislike the idea of using daylight taillight at full power after dark. They are just too bright, and I believe the effect of blinding may in fact be worse than not being seen.

There has been research on turning towards lights, and I believe it is worse when the rider/driver is blinded.
