    "When you see green, it means the plane is moving left to right"
    This is obviously not the case if the pilot happens to be flying upside down

    Actually, seeing the tail light does not necessarily mean the aircraft in front of you is moving away. Remember, you may fly faster, thus closing in on the chap in front of you.
    Also, if you see a green light (and you're VFR), you have the right of way. As the old rhyme says, "If to starboard Red appear: 'tis your duty to keep clear. Green to green, red to red: Perfect safety, go ahead". It also serves well, by a bit of logic (traffic from the right has the right of way), to help remember which color belongs to which side.

    You forgot another kind of light called “logo lights” this one has no use on term of safety, it just illuminates the logo of the plane on its tail for marketing purposes.

    The other night I saw some sort of aircraft with about 10 forward facing lights and also the green and red lights, pretty low to the ground. It was moving extremely slow. Made zero noise. I live near Ft. Indian town Gap. Not sure what it was. But the amount of lights, how low and and slow it was and how quiet it was freaked me out.

    So the only anti-collision lights are on the tail of the aircraft (red beacon light)? Correct. I fly a 172 for school. The nav lights are position lights that are not consider to be part of day time VFR requirements correct?

    Look and compare the new XeVision XeTreme LED Par-36 size with active cooling. 2.5 to 3X the Candela ( cd or CP ) comparing the output of EVERYTHING currently on the market, even the "newest" products. The units are "future proof" upgradeable, repairable, modular. A long term durable investment ( not throw away ) Anti reflective (AR) hardened glass lens, premium largest optimal TIR optics, (landing or taxi beam or combo) nitrogen flushed and sealed optics (no condensation inside) CNC'd and anodized aluminum parts, water proof IP-65, No significant dimming as warming up, never hot to the hand. Patented heat management technology. 3 selectable output modes but still requires only a 2 wire connection for 100 watts 12/14 or 24/28 Volt systems.
    1Lux at 1/3 mile, this is phenomenal disruptive performance. About 11,000 sustained Lumens output. Finally actually comparable to high output and performance HID landing lights. FAA RTCA DO-160 certified tested EMI and RFI, the strictest levels passed. Just Google search this new recently unveiled aviation product from XeVision, USA made, US and Swiss designed.
