I think the real effort is getting folks to comply to the existing lighting laws. Having greater requirements will only dilute that and lead to more harassment style stop for those who are mostly complying vs. the many who don't at all. It will also lead to more legal issues for those who were intending to comply after an incident where the other party involved was at fault independent of the lighting the cyclist was using.

Get to the point where I can go out at night and see at least half of cyclists with front lights or a reflector of any kind I may start to change my mind.

Having greater equipment requirements is not going to get more cyclists to at least get a marginal front blinky and a rear reflector let alone an adequate front and rear light.
