< I understand the levels of light intensity in that it would allow your battery-life to be extended before having to replace them but I don't understand the practicality of the strobe. Can you enlighten (pun intended) us?> Strobe lights are for emergency use, signaling the need for assistance. Obviously a strobe would make a great "here I am light" but it is also very distracting. You should use constant beam lights like chemical lights or some other lower irradiance lights sold for that pupose for just marking your location. I attach those kinds of lights to the rigging near the stern of the boat and I wear a headlamp which may be turned on or off as you prefer. Keep a strobe attached to your PFD in case you get dumped and can't get back in your boat. Or as my friends joke- so they can find your body!
