Is there any evidence these floor lights work to increase visibility to drivers? Is it more for peds? Because if not, it's a waste of battery power.
The simply fact is, most of the times I've been hit, the cunts weren't looking out their windows, they were looking at phones or something else in the car or just not looking at all before turning.

The problem is there will always be cunts not paying attention but it should help with spacial awareness for those who've upgraded from their mini/Fiat 500 to a Evoke/ML and their brains haven't caught up yet. My idea is definitely better than this

There is no antidote for cuntily not looking, but also not sure it tracks to be fatalistic about things that help mitigate risk in other circumstances.
What evidence do you need to see? Subjectively,I find the downlights on my Seemee work better than single source lights as they reflect on bike + me as well as demarking road space under the bike. Harder to miss is harder to miss, and I'm pretty confident this gives drivers more readily visual information about a cyclist (size, speed, direction, etc) but also is more obvious / discernable at distance and in peripheral views, at a glance, etc. I do not need a flawed study to tell me that.

Better it's red spectrum light I think (due to how people reflexively read lights of different colours and what they mean on the road) Magicshine does this already quite well: https://magicshineuk.com/product/seemee-300-smart-tail-light/
