Nuwai also has a 1W Luxeon one, but it is very hard to find. I don't even remember what the model name was.
I want a single cell CR123 headlight too, but have not decided on the Inova yet. Probably will eventually, since every one that has one touts it's usefulness and versatility.
Anyway, the Inova is better quality and has more functions. Don't underestimate the value and usefulness of 5mm LEDs. I just used an LRI Proton all week as my EDC on vacation and used it several times every day. I had brought my FireFly3 SSC and Fenix L1T CR123 along and still used only the Proton.

The Nuwai one is a 2-cr123 cell headlamp and is available at Amondo:

Curiously, Amondo no longers states the Nuwai name, but the model number is the same.. HLX712L
This lamp gets a 4 1/2 star rating at the flashlightreviews.com webpage with a 5 hour runtime on high.

I've had the HLX712L for a few years and it is a great light. It does use 2x123, so I don't know if that will disqualify it from your intended use. It is lightweight enough to feel comfortable with its all upfront design. Some heavier lights don't feel good like this and need to have the battery pack in the back for balance, but then you loose some dependability/ruggedness due to the wires/connections.
This can run using rechargable 3.0v RCR123s. I got mine from MattK at BatteryJunction.
I've used this headlamp cross country skiing, mtn biking, hiking/backpacking, insulating my attic, and caving. It has held up great. I think its the best value in a bright headlamp. I believe I've seen a 3 watt Lux version of this also.
