i got a set of these recently in an ebay order from china, at least their bright but yeah, these are not practical for all the time usage. i keep them in a bag on the bike for emergency night riding, but even then you need to keep the safety paper inside the batteries or they will still light up from the bike bouncing around! so not very practical!
