As running lights, they have a high frequency flicker which catches the attention of people's peripheral vision, and then kick in with the brighter low frequency flashing when you hit the brakes. I have them on the front and rear and will never ride without them. Link

I've had them on the back for the past two years and just bought some for the front that I'm about to install. They're awesome. I get a ton of people asking me about them. I should start getting commission for how many times people have come up to me at rides and ask where you can get them. Super bright and very attention getting.

They come in a couple of different styles. The one I have just has the conspicuous flicker, which all of them have, and the flashing on brake. You can also get them to work as turn signals as well and an additional option to have them flash as a voltmeter. I didn't need either of those so I stuck with the basic P3 light. I just added the Photon Blasters in white to my bike a few weeks ago. Same conspicuous flicker and very bright up front. I got them in white for the front. They come in yellow for the front as well. The P3s are red to comply with laws. They're not cheap but I think they add to your visibility a lot with the flicker and I've gotten tons of questions from other riders as to where to get them. The flicker is hard to describe. It's very noticeable out of the corner of your eye which is what grabs your attention. When looking at it head on they don't flicker nearly as much. It's not like a modulating headlight. It's a much faster flicker than that.
