... One thing we've verified over and over: Any light that lights the road sufficiently is _plenty_ visible to motorists. Try it yourself to see....
However, if the motorists see a single, not too bright light, many will think cyclist. Furthermore, they will assume the cyclist is going slowly, and violate his/her right-of-way.
That is why I would prefer to have enough power to run a really bright light, so I will be mistaken for a motorcycle moving at automotive speeds. A light like this should fit the bill [1].

The 2" MR16 lamp of a Nightsun system does seem to have a bit more "presence" than the typical, tiny, 1" MR11. Other riders with these bigger lights seem more visible than usual to me.
