It is worth mentioning again the 1xAA Gerber Infinity, illustrated in an earlier post by Les Snyder. Not dazzling bright, but dependable, with great run time. I've got three of them, including two early models.

In my experience, run time is more critical than lumens. I would cheerfully use a Gerber Infinity as my main light for an all night hike.
