the femto's are attached by stretchy rubber things - they're fine.

They (the lights) eat up batteries though

no idea about the others

I have those exact same lezyne lights, they're really good and the rubber bandy attachments work well too. Lights stay firmly in brackets over cobbles and other rough surfaces. Sometimes the front bracket slips so the light ends up pointing downwards, I'm sure this could be resolved with a little fettling but it's such a non-issue for me I haven't bothered.
They're bright and a charge lasts an entire week of there and back commuting for me ie 180 minutes (front mostly on dimmest constant - plenty bright enough for any urban riding - with occasional brightest constant which is more than enough for total darkness).
For rides over a couple of hours in dark lanes you might be struggling with the charge but that's beyond my experience with these lights.

The Macro/ Micro lights are USB rechargeable, and the times vary on usage, but are clearly stated on the packaging

I have really no idea why anyone makes lights using "coin" batteries as their limited charge and high cost make them impractical

I ride with a macro front and rear and have had no problems whatsoever. As they attach by a rubber band they are quick and easy to swap between bikes as well.
