Still debating what to do for my headlight situation.

I ride in the dark a minimum of 5x a week.

Currently using a Fenix PD22 with disposable CR123's.

Not sure if I should get rechargable batteries for my Fenix or an under 50$ dedicated bike headlight.

Leaning towards the dedicated headlight for two reasons.

One, I'd rather charge via USB through my USB hub where I charge my other bikes electronics than having to use an outlet just for my headlight batteries. I'd also rather not deal with swapping batteries in and out.

Two, I tried buying rechargeable CR123's in the past and they didn't work when I got them, plus most budget cells have spotty reviews so I'm nervous trying that route again.

However any bike headlight I see under 50$ seems to be a big step down in brightness, battery life and water resistance compared to my Fenix PD22.

None of my options are really jumping out at me. Might just have to increase my budget a bit. Leaning towards the Cygolight Dash 320.
