Oddly enough I had been giving this very issue some thought lately. I imagined a high output battery
powered headlight with one central control, handlebar mounted, thumb operated switch with small
indicator lights in which a one or two headlights and one blinkie taillight or one bright blinkie taillight with
two turn signals can be plugged in to. I remember to turn off the headlight because I can see it, but I
rarely remember to turn off the blinkie light. Two headlights for those who want extra lighting/visibility so
they would have a low beam, high beam, and blinkie mode. Two turn signals because they're more visible
at night and as intuitive as pointing, perhaps when not blinking they could provide a steady on tail light.
A blinkie light that would be distinct enough in either design or pattern so as not to be confused with the
turn signals. How you could run all of this crap off one battery and control it with just one switch I have
no idea. It was my ideal solution, but I think it would also suck up battery life like a sponge sucks up
water.
