Dropped $30 on a rechargeable bike light and it paid off in one week

Ngl, I was using those cheap $5 disposable lights that die after three rides. Finally grabbed a decent rechargeable set from a local shop for $30 and it's night and day. Last Tuesday I forgot to charge it and still made it home on the backup battery mode for 20 minutes. The brightness alone made me feel way safer on the dark stretch near the river. Has anyone else found a specific brand that holds a charge better than others?

right lol that's always the tradeoff with rechargeable stuff. you start relying on that backup feature and then one day it just gives up. kinda like how my phone battery got worse after i kept letting it drain to 1% all the time.

Backup battery mode for 20 minutes" - curious how many times you can use that trick before the battery is permanently dead.
