However having a flashing front lamp isn't necessarily a great idea, for
reasons which have been discussed in great length on this NG. If you're
interested, check the archives.

That would take a long time without any dates or thread titles.

Without any search engine, yes it would. Fortunately I believe there are
companies out there who provide such things, and without the requirement
to shell out cash either.

Right, Google Groups returns threads such as

which say that a flashing light *on its own* is useless but in combination
with a steady filiament or LED light is good for attracting attention.
However one person says that he finds it harder to judge how far away a
flashing light is than a steady one. Maybe that is the point you are
making - but you haven't given me a lot to go on.

It would have been so much easier if you had supplied a self-contained
posting which contained all the information that you were referring to,
rather than saying "It's a bad idea - now go looking and see if you can find
any evidence to back up and explain my statement".
