A current production one is the CMG Infinity Ultra. It is the brightness of an Arc AAA.
I think AB sells the McHappy, which runs off of 1 AA batt and uses an SE w/ reflector...

Mine is a little brighter than my Arc-LE. Don't know how it compares to the latest 9200mcd Nichia's, though.

I'm sorry...but I couldn't possibly carry around something that ugly. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If you are looking for a production light I'd say the Infinity Ultra with a Lithium AA.
I'd love to get the Ultra with the new 9200mcd Nichia's, I like the beam pattern better.

Heh, I say, with a production light, I would go with a Infinity Ultra with one of those Energizer CV-3 Lithiums which is in AA size and is 3 volts (those made in Japan). They come in a pair and contains 2 AA size cells, each 3 volts.

I tried the 3v CV-3 in my Infinity Ultra and it was less bright than with a 1.5v Lithium. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

The Infinity Ultra will take any AA. It's just a tad brighter with lithium. I just did a quick test with a NiMh AA in the Ultra and to my eyes it is the same as a Lithium AA.

If by Production, you mean Factory made (not one of CPF's Modders), then I don't know of any Luxeons in 1AA currently produced by any manufacturer.
The best 1AA on the market today, that I know of, is the CMG Infinity Ultra for LED. For incans, you are stuck with kiddie lights.
The makers of the X5 and X5T are coming out with a 1AA LED light, similar to the X5 series, but with 1 LED and a colimmator lens. However, that is not on the market yet. Seen it from topics here on CPF.

If you have time, I'm sure several of the mod men of this forum could custom make a very bright 1AA for you designed to utilise whatever battery you prefer.
