MODERATORS
Insufficient or no bike lights are no main reason for crashes with bicycles. More than 80% of crashes happen in full daylight, about 10% of people ride with insufficient or no lights, that makes max 2% of crashes that happen due to insufficient lights, that is if the reason in these 2% was actually the insufficient lights and not something else. Numbers for Germany.
Maybe it's a nice light for some people, but I doubt this would have a significant effect on actual safety.
