reflective gear that lights up your outline will do more to bring notice to your presence than 1watt of light competing with the cars 70watts. I could see having a 100-200lumen helmet lamp that you turn on for those specific circumstances to signal your position as it will shine into the road way with your head but it's your space you don't want struck, so define it, not the road next to you.
