For me 2 are battery powered, I just change them with cheap bulk batteries. Could be worse on the environment, but then they use a TON of plastic in hospital rooms.
At work, helmet lights charge from usb on computer, 880 clones charge from wall with own charger... I have also used a 808 clone fitted with red wide angle lens fitted. It is FANTASTIC, but this particular on drains batteries. Bright as all get out, like flash is high with constant low. Pack lasts only 40 minutes on flash... low (which is STILL amazing) runs about an hour. So something is wrong with this particular clone. One morning before sun up in the fog, I was casting quite the cloud of red behind me...
Oh on helmet mounts, they work wonders on dogs. Flash stops them even during the day, just beam them in the eyes.
