FWIW, ARC Flashlights currently is selling a llimited run of AA size LED flashlights based upon their ever popular AAA size model. At the moment, they have the units made, and expect to start shipping early October. Based upon the AAA, they will be pretty great little lights and a 10 hour run time has been mentioned.
