My point is that from a practical standpoint all of the lights discussed here are probably more than you need. Buy what you like.
+1. With the exception of the nasty little flame war that was going on, this is a high-quality thread with excellent advice. Personally, I think that if someone went with just about any of the recommended blinkies in this thread, they'd be in good shape. I guess that's why I took the time to clean it up.

Yelling and screaming and verbally assaulting/attack other is indicate weak cause!

+100 on all points
Folks, this is one of the most crucial advice topics I can think of here on Bike Forums. That's why I'm being heavy-handed in moderating and editing. We've got over 80,000 members now and most of them never post. I'm sure you all will never know how many lives you have saved by sharing your wealth of experience and knowledge on threads like these, but how many people missed something because they were so turned off by the nastiness that they couldn't finish reading the thread?
Have some basic respect for yourself and others. Write your posts with a little dignity.
Kudos to those of you who kept their heads above the unpleasantries.
