You can purchase the SSC P7 right now and have 700-900 lumens out of a single (4-die) LED.

There are several models in the works that I've heard about that are EDC-able which should be out soon.

Max drive is 3.7v at 2.8A. It runs quite nicely off 4xNiMH or 1xLi-Ion regulated, or 3xNiMH or 1xLi-Ion direct drive

You should be able to hit around 300 lumen at the LED with a cree Q5 or R2 driven at 1.5 amps. That should be possible with an EDC(bit with really short runtime on turbo). With a 3.7v RCR123, I'm guessing 10-20 minutes of full output.
For something with longer runtime, it should be available before the end of the year.

Look up Haitz's law. It's the equivalent of Moore's law in LED Land. It's hard to speculate on where we'll be at in a few months but we've been following his curve for the last 20-30 years, actually even exceeding it. Probably a good guide for the next several years until we hit theoretical limits.
