I've got several LED lights. My 2AA minimag conversion is by www.opalec.com
and cost me about $28. Worth every penny, in not blowing out bulbs. It is
limited, it isn't as bright, and no where near as focussed. But it gets me
in and out of cellars, and some odd places.

Fire up Ebay, and see what you can find. I got one that takes three AA
batteries, and has six LED, of which four work. Ah, well. Not worth sending
it back. Too long for my pocket, so I crammed it into my Tul Bukt, where it
gets used once in awhile. You can get something for under twenty bucks, with
shipping and all.

Now, if you want a "No battery" model, that doesn't exist. They all have a
battery of some form, even if it's a nicad with a solar charger or crank
charger. Yes, saw solar and or crank units on Ebay, too.

Never say something doesn't exist unless you're talking about temporal
time sifters.
No battery models example:

Like it says, no battery, no nicads, just a moving magnet through a coil
of wire and some circuitry to charge a capacitor to power the LED.
Got one in all the cars so I don't have to worry about batteries leaking
or not having enough charge.

And of course, sharper image would never sell something that doesn't
work worth a damn just because it's technology driven.. (hint hint ionic
breeze hint hint).

I'd go crazy if I had to shake a flashlight every 20-30 seconds. Frankly
I'd rather do 15 minutes at work, get this miracle substance called money,
and buy batteries and be able to use a flashlight for 6 hours without having
to shake the damn thing every 20-30 seconds.
