I've seen 360-degree visibility blinkies that people strap to helmets and backpacks, etc... and they're very noticable from a long distance.

I know what you mean about the LED based dyno-lights being very focused. Most dyno-lights use better focused optics than a battery powered light because of the limited power being generated when compared to long-life Li-on batteries. Especially the Fly IQ. The side-to-side beam cutoff is very crisp.
