Don't remember the last time I bought batteries for lights. I went dyno (hub, bottle and BB) a few years back, best thing I have EVER done. Current crop of bikes with lights is around 12. I use everything from a 1956 Sturmey Archer Dynohub pushing an OEM incandescent that would be outdone by a large firefly, all the way up to a brand new Sturmey Archer XL-FDD that is pushing the newest Lumotec Cyo from B&M, but may get replaced with the new Phillips 60 lux

My Planet Bike Super Flashes are the only battery powered lights I have left. I haven't had to replace any batteries in them yet. If and when I do, I will steal the ones out of the TV remote and let my wife worry about it...
