Is that the point, or is this mostly about riding at night?
On WI rural roads I keep mine on in the strobe mode: Dim light on all the time, followed by five strobe flashes. I feel this helps drivers become aware of me earlier and I also feel that they give me lots of room when passing. This becomes especially critical at dusk.
I also have my front light (600L) in the same mode. This helps the cars that are passing cars coming toward you to see you before they start the pass.
