oddly I know Light & Motion <http://www.lightandmotion.com/> (which makes
some super bright lights; high quality optics) sells their rear lights with
no blinking option. They instead have a slow pulse the fades in and out
between high and low intensity. I was told this was to conform with
European standards which said no color flashers other than emergency
vehicles.
