LED flashers

I'm wondering what the teams thought of the LED flashers this year, instead of the revolving dome light.

From a spectator/ref view, I found them very hard to see. I didn't think they were bright enough, especially since many teams put them in strange/out-of-the-way places.
They are also very hard to see once the match has ended. When the robot is disabled they only flash every 5 seconds or so. I'm sure this could be changed with a simple adjustment.

Any thoughts?
