Hi, is there any long lasting (50 hours or more), low power LED for the CR123? I know that the Arc 4 can do it but it's a bit pricy for a low power light or a battery drainer light.

Inova 24/7 (1x123) methinks has a long enough runtime, not sure if it goes up to 50 hours though... Else a X5t is a pretty good drainer as well...

I don't know of an Infinity equivalent (the Inova 24/7 is a different type of light while the X5T is 2 cell and quite heavy) but you could mod a #222 screwbase bulb with a LED and put it into a Tekna Splash-Lite. I've been thinking of doing that for my own Splash-Lite. Runtime with a resistored yellow or direct drive green or white led should be well over 100 hours, though brightness wouldn't be the greatest. Another idea is to take the LED and boost converter from a UKE 2aaa eLED and mod that into the 222 bulb base. I think it should still fit into the Splash-lite.
