I would prefer buying a strobe light but I'm considering other types as well.
IF POSSIBLE, I'D LIKE TO GET ONE THAT CAN BE SEEN BY MOTORISTS DURING THE DAY!

Does anyone have suggestions? Feel free to PM me.

I have been obsessed by stobes for decades. I finally settled on a medium sized one using about a watt. Brilliant at night, passable at sunrise/sunset, and just visible in sunlight if you look at it. Weight 6-8 ounces zip-tied to the rear rack. Even sealing loose parts I am not sure if it would work on a pannier. At $15+ give it a try. The daylight visible ones you see at airports and on energency vehicles can weight several pounds and more, sucking down 5 to 30 watts or more. Not for me.
