Not sure if this only applies to driving on roadways though.

Read carefully....”white light visible from a distance of at least 500 feet...”
My 2 white blinky lights are visible from 500 feet or farther. I’m in compliance with that.
They do not illuminate like a car’s headlight. I will not see someone 20 feet ahead of me in the darkness - but I will be seen from 500 feet plus.
Being visible and illuminating a path are two different concepts. Think match versus flashlight.
