If you could use some super bright white LED's, it would help to save
the batteries, and if correctly designed, it should be good for 2

They do exist for anchor lights, and I believe at least one has been
certified. Still too expensive for me, but the prices will come down.

Just saw a 30 LED flashlight for $10. I paid about that much a couple of
years ago for 3 LED flashes that we use all the time.
