Everyone busy at work?

Alright then, I'll try to stir up some discussion.

How about LED lights. What do folks prefer for the types out there (i.e. small map-reading lights, larger flashlights, etc)? While I like the Photon III microlights, I think a deployed, sparsely-supported soldier would find a lot of utility from a CMG Infinity Ultra. Sure, its much larger, but its much more durable, runs off a commonly-available AA battery, and is unquestionably waterproof if the o-ring is maintained. On the downside, the Ultra LED only comes in white (to my knowledge), the battery rattles when turned off (unless you use a homemade foam spacer), it only runs on or off (no strobe like the Photon) and you have to twist the front end to turn it on and off (no easy squeeze on-off like the Photon). So, one solution would be to have a few Photons for regular use, but keep a CMG Infinity handy in the ruck in case the Photon craps out on you.
