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.
My ex-wife used to walk three miles in the dark every night on roads with no illumination. She wore a vest with high quality reflecting tape on it and a Flashing red light behind and carried a bright flashlight to turn on and wave if a car was coming.

Even a flashing light on a bicycle will alert a rider to a walker with reflective tape on a vest. It won’t help with someone in a black hoody.
