Complaints on this board that this is too bright and too visible will probably follow this post, most likely by those who complain that trikes aren't visible.
Visibility is key. After test riding a bunch of recumbent trikes I learned that one of the more dangerous spots is a parking lot or any area with a lot of park cars (like the town centers). You have to be super careful. Probably better to avoid them if you can.
