Maybe I'm missing something here but how does 100 hours equal 4-5 days? I'm assuming that's 100 hours of run time so unless you're biking 20+ hours a day you'll get a few weeks out of it. Please clarify.

I have a cheap Bell Arella light. Runs on two AAA batteries. I run it all day on the fastest blink setting while riding, 6-8 hours a day. Only changed the batteries once while on tour last summer. Using two Duracell I picked up from Dollar General.
