Also, if you see those lights you are supposed to pull over and get off the road. They are not driving around normally with that mix of lights on.

Head light:

Tail light :

and/or
2) https://www.amazon.com/Portland-Desig...2336315&sr=1-5
I have the head light and the radbot1000 and love both of them. When I get the chance I am getting the danger zone light. Have the danger zone on solid and the rad bot in strobe and call it a day.
That is about 60$ for the head light and a tail light and probably 70-80 with the HT and both TL. The department store lights cannot even touch these.

The OP, needs to test the RED in bright sunlight, and in a bright white light. The WHITE will be no good. Despite the 'effect' the OP is trying to create. I was rear-ended in the middle of the day, while I was waiting to merge into southbound traffic from a dual-turn lane. So I could eventually make a right turn. After that happened, I bought the NiteRider MiNewt 600 for my headlight(I have linked their Lumina 750 which is similar: Lumina 750 |Store - NiteRider), and the Axiom Pulse 60 (Axiom Pulse 60 LED Tail Light) for a tail light. Not only do I have motorists' honking at me telling me that my lights are too bright. They are both USB-rechargeable. So, You can charge them from your computer.

I suggest having a friend ride your bike with all of your lights on while you follow behind in a car. Lights may seem adequate when looking at them on a bike leaning against a tree but when it's on the road and surrounded by traffic the picture is very different.
A good example of a bright light that, in my opinion, does not cut the mustard on the road is the Radbot 1000. Looks good when you stare directly into it's bright narrow beam - walk a few feet to one side and you can barely see it.
