While randomly browsing DX I found this little light that, on paper, sounds like it's the perfect 1x123.
It has an XP-G LED, a three-mode fully-regulated driver blessedly free of strobe and SOS modes, a twistie switch with rotary mode selector (if I understand correctly it changes mode the more you twist the head) and respectable output (rated 170/45/5 lumens; LED is driven at 800mA on high). It's also waterproof. About the only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have built-in protection, which makes it necessary to use protected 16340s if wanting to use rechargeables. On the other hand, this also means it'll drain primaries as much as it can - apparently the limit below which it won't even power on is just 0.8V. And all for about $20.
I searched a bit but nobody's talking about it, which seems strange when you consider the light's specifications.
