I have one of these mounted vertically on my seat post, they are excellent.Not so much bright, more so a decent one.
Something like a Cateye will more then suffice in town/city riding

That's nice of them! Never seen that before, I thought I was imagining it! Maybe if it happens again I should drag my cleat down the side of the nice merc!

I just thank them nicely as though they'd helped once I get past...seems to really annoy some people when you're polite like that.

Make sure you have third party indemnity cover first to avoid a big bill for a respray. I assume you are joking, But are the one under the onus to filter carefully, they can sit where they want in their lane ultimately, jealous, obnoxious or not

Riding in the dark :
Wearing yellow glasses is easier to counteract the glare from other lights than clear glasses, especially in the rain.

+1 on the yellow glasses. You can get 'em cheap enough and they really help with glare from headlights.
I tend to stick to roads with street lights but at 5-6pm this is where all the traffic is so I try and stay off commuter route which isn't easy. Thanks @ManiaMuse for the reminder to buy some reflective tape!

If you have a reasonably bright back light, you are probably far more visible at night than when you are unlit in the daytime amidst the usual visual clutter. I think you are a bit safer too but I have no statistics to back that up. I suspect that motorists take a lot more care at night compared to their listless, automatic, mind-numbing commutes. I'm certainly more alert behind the wheel at night.

Probably a silly question, but can't you go out at lunch time? I work from home too, and enjoy the ability to go out when I like.

It is a good question. Yes I can but I also go to the gym at lunch time, but not everyday now.
