For the model of Seemee I have (300) the downlight is an optional mode, and there's a multitude of mode options for various degrees of power saving and rear / down light. Max run time is listed at ~200hrs which I've not been close to testing the limits of. They even have a little matrix for you to work out whats what (attached).
Re: night vision. My experience of this light is that positioning is down and behind enough that it's out of sight. In pitch darkness out in lanes or similar I'm sure it would be more noticeable. Kind of by the by ...red light is notoroiously A-ok for preseving night adjusted vision which is why a lot of modern head torches have red light modes.

Seemee
Is it a battery light? The mount looks a bit shit but I presume you've not dropped it?
Looks interesting. I have two of the big Exposure tailights but on some bikes they don't fit well, particularly when I'm running a saddle bag, so I wonder if these could mount on the seat stay and still do their ground lighting thing well? Kinda keen to try it out.
hippy
For me, I just don't want to sacrifice battery life and/or my own night vision. I don't know if either of these are really an issue, having never used "down lighting" but I also don't see how they couldn't be to some extent.
