Will the $35 setup last 4+ years of year-round all weather commuting?
$35 with the extra 6-cell battery pack, $22 without. Which should probably be in your parts list - I'm a believer in having a spare.
The batteries are lasting me 2-3 years, regarding the lights themselves I haven't had one fail yet. I generally commute ~ 230 days, using lights on maybe half of them. My oldest light is, I think 4 or 5 years.
