I still haven't figured out how long they really last.

Put it on in a bucket of water and see how long it lasts.

I just had a chance to play with the Archon lights and picked up a D11v (860 lumens, 110 deg beam) for 270 yuan, including a 18650 li-on rechargeable battery and charger (~$44 USD). Feels very solid, much better than I'd expect from a Chinese product and much better than a similar priced iTorch (Canadian, 180 lumens, 80 degrees beam, same price).

Has dual o-rings, plus an extra set of spares and a tube of silicon grease.

Where did you get it from?

Be careful of this experiment in multi-LED lights (and maybe single LED controllers too). I let a 4-LED light run to dead battery once as an experiment and ended up with a 3-LED light. :(

Then you had a defective light and it should have been returned under warranty.
