I've tried small one-piece lights on my helmet and I didn't like it. Even fairly light 300 lumens ones were too heavy on my head before long, gotta have the battery located somewhere besides the helmet.

My mega bright bike light has cords. You only need one while riding though, from the lamp to the battery. I put the lamp on my helmet and battery in center jersey pocket.

These are probably significantly brighter and packing much more juice than you're assuming and you also need to consider the manner in which these are used. Folks that buy these kinds of light are more likely to be touring and/or doing ultra-distance events where swapping out a battery pack may be more convenient and more affordable than multiple integrated units.

Back when I shot football for MaxPreps I used wired battery packs for my flashes instead of AAs. Cheaper and lasted longer.

Yep, couple of years when my kids were in HS. My daughter was an athlete, so I was tied into all the coaches. Had court and field access for the games in our district. Did football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, and marching band. Shooting was fun, but MaxPreps was a PITA. Ended up just putting my stuff on a website, basically giving it away to the players and parents.

A little Indian brave who before he was ten
Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends
And he built a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fierce warrior Indian chief
Many moons passed 'fore the dream grew strong
Until tomorrow he would sing his first war song
And fight his first battle, but something went wrong
Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends
And he built a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fierce warrior Indian chief
Many moons passed 'fore the dream grew strong
Until tomorrow he would sing his first war song
And fight his first battle, but something went wrong
Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

Dumb times we're in that one can't say much more about a disease than anecdotes without it being political.
You have one of those two-foot long lenses?

Yes. I don't think it's political, though, to observe that too many people nowadays have access to too much information with no training or experience to correctly interpret it.
