"85% higher sense of security in traffic"

This is not possible. Maybe close but they should reword those sentences.

I could make those easily with an led, copper coil, magnet, and a capacitor (might need a resistor too).

So, after looking around I was wondering what candlepower do I need? I will be riding the booty ride so there will be some light.

Battery lights are cheap, what does this help resolve? I rarely ever need to change the batteries in my cateye flasher, and if I really need to see where I'm going I bring either an HID or a high power LED with a rechargable battery pack.
These lights seem like an answer to a question I don't think anyone is asking.
