Wayne,
I´m talking about the "standard" L91 Energizer Lithiums with 1.5V - but having 1.7V - 1.8V no-load voltage - just perfect to run one Nichia - this also has been posted befor and I liked it better than 3Ns - you can also use it in pretty much every 2AA light whereas the 3N mod is only usable where the 2AAs are inline. Don´t want to bash the 3N thing though - the L91-mod is also quite good runtime-wise. Didn´t run one down till the very end but others posted about approx 100h + runtime (obviously dimming towards the end) which would go well with the L91 spec of 122h at 20ma load.
I have even better results after selecting Nichias with a lower voltage for this mod - the ones with higher voltage should do better using 3N´s though.
BTW: The N´s have 800ma the L-AA´s 2800ma

Of course you can always go to different colors, which have lower voltage requirements. I have a few colors, like a 6000mcd ultra blue, with voltage requirements of 2.5 - 3.0 volts. Also an aqua LED, 7000mcd, which is rated at 3.2v. I also have a 10,000mcd green rated at 3.2 volts.
I think these would work too, if you like colors, especially the blue, which seems to be popular these days. I got all these at Hosfelt.
Perhaps I'll do a mod of a Mini Mag with one of these colors.
