The standard recommendation that I have read states that if you only have one light then you should put it on the bars. I wholeheartedly disagree. After following this advice and then putting my only light on my helmet, I prefer it on the helmet. I want to see where I am looking, not where my handlebars are pointed. The light does no good shining in front of my bike when I am looking into a turn. I want to see what is in the turn like I can in the daylight.
I'm using Duracell 2650's charged and conditioned in a LaCrosse BC900 charger. In the two times I've used the light, I used mainly the turbo settings for both rides with about 10 minutes of strobe on the first ride. First ride was about an hour, second maybe 35 minutes and the Fenix was still shining brightly when I got home both times. I haven't tried to see if I could get a longer run time, but know there's more use left when I got home.
