good ones mentioned already by prev. Responders/Replies (currently own them all).

there is also the possibility of running some HL's on s 1xLi-ion cell, e.g. Streamlight Argo HP (a 2xCR123A powered HL) on 1x17670.

not to "beat a dead horse", so to speak, but i've found a number of 1 and 2 cell flashlights work well for "hands-free" lighting either clipped to a ballcap brim/visor, or head mounted using a JakStrap (original JS, or JS II). ok, still technically NOT a HL, but nicely functions as one.

Not exactly 1 cell, but very small (2x CR 2032):

Sorry for german, couldn't find any english page for this. Does anybody know who manufactures this light ?

don't know Mfr., but in the good ol' USofA it is sold under multiple names, e.g. Cyclops and Atom.

If you don't mind bending the rules, a LOD clipped to a hat brim works well as an impromptu headlamp.

The Fenix P1D series also fits inside the Zebralight, rubber lights holders.

For twenty bucks, you will be hard pressed to find a better light that this one.

If you're bald, then you could use a Surefire M6 and a roll of duct tape.

Thanks guys,

I went with the rayovac 1w headlamp

I am surprised how water resistant the light is.

I really like the Red led, and the white Led has decent throw with the optics included.


I am surprised this light is not more popular

PT EOS II or any other three AAA headlamps using a single 10440 AAA li-ion protected rechargeable and two dummy cells or otherwise bridging the other two cell slots.

I think that defeats the purpose of having a small, 1-cell light. Also, runtime would be only about 1/3 of using AAA's, and there is no protected 10440

Nice choice. The only bad thing I have heard about that headlamp is the short runtime. Still a great light for the money

Agree somewhat on defeating the purpose - was sorta joking (but not entirely).

My bad on the 10440...there don't seem to be any protected. It then boils down to whether you are knowledgeable enough to safely use unprotected cells and whether the light adequately "communicates" its state of discharge to the user. I don't yet know the answer for the EOS II.
