Essential gear for night riding? (lemmy.world)

I know about the obvious stuff like a bright vest, blinking rear light and wearing light colored clothes but is there anything else that I need for when nightfall hits?

You can easily spot a car at night, but not a cyclist.
In Europe blinking bicycle lights are allowed (white front, red rear).

Front blinking lights are illegal in Germany as they should be, don't ever put fronts on blinking mode.
