The only one I know of offhand that doesn't mount like that is so huge it's not a feasible helmet light. (Fluxient U2X3)
My setup.

Put one on your helmet. Put the wide angle lens one on your bars, means when you turn it has less effect on what you can see.
I've had no problem with battery life, but my night rides do tend to be a bit shorter, in the 90 minute range. Use half strength during the climb, full strength on the down.

Here's a video with me just using the helmet light. My friend was using my bar light on medium power:

I think we were out there for 3 hours and I made it through just fine. I would drop the power to its lowest setting for any sustained climbs and then power up when things went downhill.
