What's so fucking annoying is that while experts agree that flashing lights decrease visibility and safety, all separate battery operated lights sold have this dumb setting. Lots of people buying them instinctively feel that the strobe setting must make them easier to spot and just use that. Some Chinese manufacturer once set the standard, and now all these lights have a single button that switches between off, half-brightness, full-brightness, and this much-maligned strobe.
