   I think that "making your own" might be interesting. You can buy the   
   super LEDs and a current limiting circuit circuit can be very small   
   very large. the biggest problem would be limiting the voltage and that   
   could be done with some sort of insulating spacer if more then a two   
   cell light. Hmmm....
