Can I have too much lighting?

At a certain point you become a distraction. In my opinion, keep it to headlights and tail lights, and wear a reflective vest. If a driver doesn't see that, there's a good chance he's not going to see you no matter how much lighting you've got.
 
My bike has 14 lights. 16 lights if you count the indicators. Four of my 6 trailers have four flashing lights attached; making a total of 16 rearward facing trailer lights, in the port and starboard configuration (red and green).

When my bike is coming down the road at night, with 6 trailers attached, it's been described as a slow moving, low altitude UFO.

Definitely want to see a video of that at night. You could ride into a shallow pond, and really confuse them too.
 
If you have to dim them at home to protect the paint on your garage...
If oncoming cops hit their lights but DON'T pursue because they are BLINDED...
If anyone has ever experienced sunburn symptoms from your night riding...
If while traveling a stretch in the middle of nowhere, a 747 lines up on you to land...
If you can melt snow in your path...
If rain hits the lens and sizzles...
If you have routinely been tracked by spy satellites...
If you have ever been mistaken for an oncoming diesel locomotive...
If you can light your smoke off it...
You might have too much light
 
Now that's the kind of lighting i'm talking about, then give me an extra 200% of bone penetrating illumination power; leaving x-ray shadows of skeletal body structure scorched into surrounding concrete walls !!!
 
Who cares if you blind other drivers and they run off the road, right? Because until that happens, you don't have enough lighting.
