I'm thinking about an SST-50 and then crank for some good exercise.

Seriously though, that's a cute lil' light

You want the most efficient LED possible at very low currents. That is probably an XP-G at the moment.

That way, more of your hard work cranking the tiny little thing will be converted into lumen-y goodness.
