Anybody have experience with synchronized light systems (with more than one taillight)? Better: does anybody have scientifically sound evidence on synchronized lighting systems for safety? By "safety," I mean lighting intended to keep us from getting hit by drivers--not illumination for night riding, necessarily. Though for taillights I'm not sure I would understand much difference between situations except for night riding involving the "competition" for attention by other lights--especially in urban settings. I'm mostly riding daytime by far, and at night stay almost exclusively on bike paths (not even bike lanes).

I'm considering the rather expensive set from Arsenal. (And no, I don't know the inventor and owner--though I ride with a guy who rides with him and uses these lights.) Looking for more than surmise here, and would also be interested in any brand of a similar approach--if indeed the claims hold up. Here's my quick understanding of the logic for such systems:

1. Two or even three rear lights (such as back of helmet, seatpost, and seat stay nearest traffic--left side in the U.S.A.), allow drivers coming up from behind to judge their distance from you.
2. Blinking lights attract attention. If not synchronized, multiple blinking lights would of course work against a motorist's ability to judge your position as they close distance toward you.
3. By analogy, warning lights for aviation (radio towers, runway identification, etc.) use multiple synchronized lights.

Counter-arguments would of course include "faulty analogy" (texting drivers ain't professional pilots), "target fixation," etc.

Open minded here and posting first time, and appreciate any helpful responses.
