I run a flashing LED on the front of mine when riding at all times. Not a high-intensity strobe, but a white light that blinks on and off because blinking will be seen where a steady light will be missed. It has a steady on mode as well, but it's only barely bright enough for riding at night... It doesn't really illuminate the road very much for me.
I do use it on the MUP that crosses roads continually here. The flashing isn't for others on the MUP, it's for the cars at the crossings. And I keep the axis of the light pointed at or below waist level, so it shouldn't be hitting anyone directly in the eyes.
