I don't like external batteries and their cables either, and wouldn't consider any light that must use one full time. I consider the powerpack a backup, just in case as the internal battery is sufficient for my needs except for a few occasions. Besides, I do have a dyno light too.

Exactly, "bike head lamps" are common, I'm talking about real "headlights" in a vehicular sense. A shaped beam with cutoff, where the emitter or lamp isn't projecting directly, and has actual high and low beams rather than just multiple power levels with some sort of defuser.
The only two I'm aware of are the Specialized flux, and Phillips Activeride.

Cold is not a factor in battery performance at these temps for any of the popular battery chemistries.
