Browning's new Zero Gravity lights
These look like they could be decent:

The headlamp is something quite different from others on the market. I've often wondered why one of the more established headlight makers won't make a 1AA headlamp. The housing is aluminum, which should be good for heat transfer and long-tern durability. Looks like a headlamp that would be great for ultralight backpacking.
Really like the design of the clips on the 1AA and 1AAA pocket lights - the top of the clip is placed near the bezel of the light so the light will ride really low in a pocket, and clip securely to a cap.
Anyone familiar with the ceramic coating they use? They claim it's much more durable than anodizing.
MSRP seem kinda high, but I expect the street prices will be somewhat lower.
"Nothing has ever hit the flashlight market like Browning's new Zero Gravity lights. These new finger-sized lights represent the future of lighting technology. They are rugged, very powerful and take up no more space than a tube of lip balm. The headlamp model is lightweight as well and has a tough, aluminum face cap to protect the LED. Powered by a single AA or AAA alkaline battery, Zero Gravity lights penetrate the deepest darkness using a one-watt LED, giving an incredible 35-40 lumens of output."
"Ceramic is one of the most durable, stable and wear-resistant compounds known to man, used in countless applications throughout the world. Practically indestructible, the new Zero Gravity flashlights have a unique ceramic coating that is more durable than any of the standard anodized coatings in common use today. Zero Gravity Flashlights include an O-ring seal for water protection and a neck lanyard. The one-watt LED is rated for 100,000 hours of use. Why even bother with flashlights of lesser quality, when a Zero Gravity light will outlast, outshine, outlive and outperform any other light in their class?"
