That's my current road set-up
Knog Blinder
Lezyne Micro Drive
Fabric FL30
Think that lot is plenty bright enough!
See Sense Icon here. Cracking light and full of geek tech features too like accident notification and theft alarm
In proper darkness, Busch Mueller Ixback. Big area, not ridiculously bright, doesn't flash.
probably out of fashion these days but I'm also using two Cateye TL-LD1100's. Been using the same two since 2007 and they've been perfect. Run one row on flashing and one on constant on each light and have one on my seatpost and one on either saddle bag or rucksack. In winter I use rechargeable batteries and replace weekly.
They've been faultless.

The holy hand grenade.
Quick thread resurrection as I'm having that annual light review and am looking for a bright but not blinding, non-point source light.
I commute on dark unlit country roads and I found that my Lezyne Micro Drive rear lights are far too bright a point source - it's hard for drivers to see beyond the light, and I've noticed more drivers making bad overtakes before bends - whether it's because they just can't wait to get past the blinding light or whether the can't see the road ahead I don't know but it's real. I got around that by fitting a ping-pong-ball diffuser which improves things to a degree.
I've got dynamo lights, the rear of which Busch & Muller claim to make it much easier to judge distance as it's a strip of light not a point source, I'd like a secondary light to go alongside this working on the same principle - what's good for that - do the Moon rear lights work on this principle ?
Claim
Ixback or Sigma Stereo
Aldi were doing Moon copies a few weeks back. They may have some left instore if you're lucky. I've been running one for a year now and it still works fine. Bought a couple of the bigger metal ones this time round.
But if you can't find any I'd can recommend the Moon versions. Think the batteries are probably slightly better but I'd want a good deal on them when you see the price that Aldi pump them out at.
