Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

My experience with lights powered by disposable batteries is the batteries don't die; they just get weaker over time. So they seem pretty great at first, and then... eh... and I never know when it's time to replace the battery. So I deal with ineffective light for a while, and eventually I replace a battery that still has some power left.

I prefer dynamo hubs.

For those of my bikes that don't have a dynamo hub, I have a couple of these (or similar):
