Dont some states have laws against having strobing lights on your bike?  Or is it ok as long as it's on your person?

The ones linked to and the nite ize are powered so produce their own light - not just retro reflective so they do have benefits over just reflectors.

I realized this, hence why I said "for all intensive purposes", not "just like".

Thought - exactly my thoughts.  I thought it was illegal to have certain color n strobing lights.

Not sure how it applies to stuff one wears - but it's illegal to have forward facing red lights on a vehicle and blue lights any place are no no also in most or all of America. For civy vehicles amber/yellow or white are the only acceptable colors AFAIK - dunno about Green though for forward facing

The video shows him riding an MV, but honestly, he should be on a Honda Rebel.

In NY state anyway, green is used for volunteer ambulance personnel. I don't know for certain if you can't have green lights for anything else.
