If I could get a lower lumen pulsing front light that would be great, not sure they exist. I usually run mine steady on low, but if I'm concerned about battery life I'll strobe it. Or if I'm really concerned about being seen - I've had cars pull in front of my as I"m descending middle of the lane at 40mph, so if my strobe annoys them I'm happy about that.
i have an old CYGOLITE that has a pulse mode - like this one, but I think 350 lumen max:

The site states:
SteadyPulse™ alerts night time motorists with pulses while constantly lighting your path
And right below that:
"DayLightning™ flash mode increases output to lightning-like flashes for increased rider safety in peak daylight" 
-- what 'ave i been complaining about!!!????!!!
