These lights are pretty close to what you want. The give enough light
without being too painful to look at.

The other option are 3W LEDs...

One of these with a single 9V battery can last for 6ish hours, give or
take. They're bright as hell, and can also blind you if you stare into
it. They require a heat sink but considering how cold it is outside,
they should be fine without one.

I think one would need a drive to make it work with 12V properly. You
could also make it run off of some AA batteries and recharge them.

Miloh: Do you have any input? I'm still keen on building Altoids lights
that can be reused with one of these on the lid.
