The Element K2 flashlight.
You can get two of them for $28 at Sam's club. (Apparently several folks have gotten faulty units with bad battery holders, but both of mine were OK.) Since I'll end up cutting off the back end of the light for the final version, I really don't care about the battery holder, anyway.
Folks, these are the brightest LED lights I've seen firsthand, rated at 150 Lumens, per the packaging. For that matter, they're the brightest flashlight I've seen (with the possible exception of the 6V lantern types, similar to thumbnail below.) When I stepped on to the street & shone the beam down the street last night, I could see clearly for 75 yards, and was getting reflections from parked car tailights from a quarter mile away.
It's brighter, and has a tighter beam than a 4 D-Cell Maglight. It uses the Luxeon K2 single LED 'bulb.'
The back of the package mentioned 8 watts, but, since there are two lights in a pack, I don't know if this means 8W each, or 8W total for the two lights. (If it's 4 watts, that would be perfect for my dyno-hub. But, even if it's 8 W, it'll still work in a DynoHub/Battery system. (At speed, the Dynohub puts out 6W or more, meaning that the battery I'm using, either a 7.2 W-H SLA, or a 12 W-H Li Ion pack, would make up the difference for a minimum of 3.6 or 6 hours, respectively.
It almost HAS to be no more than 4W each, though, as the specs call for 20 hours of light from 3 AAA batteries.
