If you need more runtime, just get an L2D body, slap on your head and tailcap, and run two AAs.
There is nothing wrong with my Fenix L1D. With this talk about helmet lights, I strapped my trusty Fenix L1D onto my helmet (using a Zefal Doodad) and went out for a little night ride this evening. I'm running a MagicShine clone on my handlebars and two Planet Bike Super Flashes at my six. I ran the Fenix L1D on Turbo, then switched it to strobe during my ride. I hadn't used a helmet light for a long time and forgot how useful they can be. The Princeton Tec Remix posted by the OP of this thread happened to catch my interest. I would be interested in hearing more comments from other helmet light users and what their preferences and experiences are. Thank you so much.
