It'sJustMe claimed that at 66 degrees his only ran for 20 minutes, I've ridden mine down to 43 degrees and noticed no reduction in run time.
Gee, that took about 30 seconds to find on amazon -

"
The a few of the AA batteries that came with my light were not real good, and the first time it didn't run very long. But once I had good batteries, I got an hour and a half on high before it switched to low."

"Owned it for about a month and the only gripe is the batteries are kinda junk, its December now, and I use it for my commutes home at night, with the dropping temperatures this headlight's ability to stay on in the high power mode is terrible. I get maybe 30-40 mins at below freezing. At around -15 (without windchill ) the light lasted less than 5 minutes, it was at two bars of charge, and next thing I know it just turned off mid commute!"
You went and read all the reviews, and "no one even mentions that", huh? Idiot.
