I am a little unsure how to interpret 91.209(b). I think it is trying
to say that if you have anticollsion lights you have to use them
unless the pilot deems it unsafe to operate them.

So I think all you would need is postion lights.

Hmmm you're right 91.205 applies only to powered aircraft. Is there a
similar FAR that addresses the minimum equipment requirements for
gliders?

i went through this last year with my glider. the operating
limitations at that time limited me to 91.205 for day VFR operations
and prohibited night/IFR ops. Even though 91.205 on its own does not
apply to gliders, since i was bound to it through my operating
limitations it did apply to me.

Last spring I got my operating limitations changed to reflect the
standard limitation of no instrument requirements for day VFR and
91.205 for everything else.
