I believe that reflectors, Sam Browne belts, triangles, stickers, tape, are essential to augment lights. But with bright lights front and rear, battery or dynamo, and ample reflectors, I'll bet riders are more visible at night than during the day.
I'd stay off of multilane boulevards where the overwhelming presence of car headlights drowns out bike lighting, but for slower and narrower roads, I'd think myself pretty safe.
