Check the price tags of such lights!
As for being militant, I can see this from both sides, as a driver and as a cyclist.
When driving, I give plenty of room to bikes, allow at least 5ft when I pass them, am courteous, look out at traffic lights for bikes filtering up etc. However, I do get a bit miffed at those cyclists who really don't help themselves; no hi-vis clothing, no lights at night, riding about 6ft out into the road instead of a more reasonable 2ft-ish from the kerb (far enough out from road crud, far enough in from cars IMO), and those who ride two abreast chatting to each other, making getting past nigh on impossible where if they'd been behind in single file, passing wouldn't be an issue.
As a cyclist, I hate being cut up, hate not being seen, hate cars treating me as if I'm not there, hate having them pull out across me when they are turning right & waiting to get across as if I've got to wait for them, hate pedestrians stepping out without looking, hate being stuck behind buses, and most of all, hate those who skim your elbow with their mirror in a rush to get past. Yes, I'll pull in as close as I can when there's people waiting behind, but that's not always possible.
I know how frustrating it can be to get stuck behind a bike if you're in a rush, but it's a give & take on both sides. Shame not everyone sees it that way.
