It depends where you live/ride.

Out of town you don't need as much light to be seen as you do in town.

Obviously anyone giving advice is going to link their advice to their location/experience.

Traffic density is fairly low where I cycle, especially at night so my rear lights are set up to be seen, but my front lights are set up for unlit empty roads.
