They are very conspicous even on bright days, visible even when backlit by a setting or rising sun, and certainly in the shadows or on overcast days.
Not my experience. They are visible in low light situations, but not so much in bright sunlight.

Once carefully installed, and especially in combination with a decent dynamo hub, you can then completely forget about them. No hassle, they just work. For years and years.
Agree 100%

On my Cyo Premium I don't see much difference between day and night modes, the main LED is still on in day (sensor) mode.
