Ah, but it would just work. Get on the bike, and ride. a
rechargable light would have to be found, put on the bike, and
discover the batteries are dead.

Sure, I get that--and don't disagree. But for me, the effort to
find the light, have a charged battery, and mount it is small. I
keep things in established places, and plan ahead. The risk of
failure is acceptable (to me).

On the other hand, I rarely need the light, and like having the
handlebar real estate available for other things.

I don't clutter my handlebars with a lighteither. The light is mounted
on the fork crown using the front brake centre bolt.

I rarely use a light, but the other morning I found it was a bit foggy
_after_ I had left home, so I turned my lights on for the first hour.
