Welcome to the forum!
It seems that everybody likes the Skene Design units. http://www.skenedesign.com In the similar threads pane below there are some threads to look at.
Good luck.

I have a Volo light. See at Volo.com. Clearwater has the Billie light. I think both are excellent.

I've used the Knight Riderz light bar on the last four bikes. The cost is minimal at $29.99. The performance seems to be as good as the higher priced units. I had no problems with the CANBUS when I connected the wires.
You can get a lot of different effects with these. I went the simple route and just have them going on as an additional brake light.

Skene P3's, and Clewarwater Billie (or Billie Jr.), are both good products. For the Billie, you also need the CanOpener module, which allows you to program the light with the wonderwheel on your left handgrip (assuming your bike has one). I've had both products, and currently have the Billie Jr. on my GSA. Works very well.

Ditto for me too. Some people have told me they're "annoying" to see. I guess that means I'm visible. This derives from the flicker which Jerry Skene built into the design.

Doesn't anybody use Hyperlights anymore? I've had them on my 70 /5, 77100S and 88 100 RS for many miles and years. They still work just fine. They do an excellent job of keeping the tailgaters off my butt. Very reasonable cost.

Have used Hyperlites long before the Skenes came along. We have them on most bikes and many miles of use. Have the running and flashing brake options on all. They don't flicker, but am happy. The oldest were 6LED pods, now 12's.
Have installed both for folks, just a preference thing for many. I still have Run-n-Lights license frame 3 pod unit on one of our bikes, they used to be one of a few options
Any added brake light is as good thing,as well as triangling the front. Yellow sure pops on the front...flicker or not

All of my BMW bikes use the Lite Blazer below the license plate. This is a combination tail and brake light. Mine flash for a few seconds on braking and then are continuously illuminated.
The convincing argument for me was when a buddy and I swapped bikes. I was following him riding my bike with the Lite Blazer. At some distance the stock tail light could not be seen, but the LED tail lights were quite visible. Upon braking the LED tail lights were unmistakable as brake lights from close and farther distances. A quick flash of the brake lights is usually enough to cause tailgaters to back off.
Installation was very easy for airheads, oilheads, and k75s bikes.

I went with the amber and they get your attention

i have skene p3's on two bikes and the amber photon blasters on the front of both. REALLY visible. the flicker works. i get comments regularly.
I installed the Denali B6 below-license-plate Brake light. (Yes, the website says "New Product -Available February 2018, but I purchased one @ the MOA Rally in Salt Lake). Easy install with the Hex EzCan. Very programmable and very visible. I've set mine for "California Legal" flashing (4 flashes, then solid).
I’ve only installed the amber, no flicker, but turn them on and walk 100ft in front of bike, everyone has been impressed with the visibility increase, if not bright enough double up so you have two pairs pointing front
