Now LED headlights have a charged capacitor in the circuit.
that keeps the light on for several minutes after you stop.
Older bulb lights did not do that.
Just 'be seen' low watt lights drain the batteries slower , and slower yet if it has a flach mode.
brighter = more drain of battery..
so the half watt light has a 3x longer battery usefulness than a 2 watt.
