Correction, "some cyclists". I am not convinced that flashing lights are
a overall benefit. And, even if they are, there should also be a
persistent light so that you can locate them between flashes.

The main benefit with LEDs is it increases battery life.

At one time, they would have been illegal. Has the law changed or simply
one of these things that are now tolerated,

LEDs generally or flashing ones?

Flashing ones have been legal for 15 years now if they are of some minimal
power figure and a suitable flash frequency.
