Yes, the main riding I do with this light is a commute, which the light is used for about 45mins, say 4x a week + mornings for about 20mins in winter & I will get about 3-4 weeks from single set of Lithiums.
Have found them to last longer than rechargables, although the do cost a little more, and I do have some rechargeable batteries, the rechargables are significantly heavier, and decent ones do cost.
For long distance riding (Audax/brevet) I have a dynamo setup, no batteries for that.
