Yep paths or roads makes a massive difference to your lighting. Even some areas of the paths need more, or less. It’s not a simple set and forget unless everything is constant.
My route is ~60% on road so yeah I light it up and have double rear light (1 solid and 1 flash). Since being better lit my near misses and close calls are virtually zero. But on the paths I gotta remember to turn off and change angles on some lights. However the ninja riders are, IMO, the most dangerous especially when oncoming and I’m passing either another cyclist or pedestrian. Just impossible to see some of these suicidal maniacs sometimes.
