I worry about runtime with the all-in-one lights. Most of my night riding is fall and winter.
Winter time means cold. If it’s -18 C / 0 F, run time goes down by a lot from the claimed times.
Then batteries lose capacity over time.
So a listed runtime of 1.5hours, after a few years, might be last for 45 minutes in mid winter.
Remote batteries tend to be bigger, and you can keep them in a warmer spot.
