I tried an M1 Ultimate from Aaxa:

Unfortunately, the M1 was not bright enough for what I wanted, but they 
say the M2 is brighter.  If portability is your first priority, you 
should definitely check them out.  The lamp life and price are excellent 
too.  The fan is a bit loud in the M1, don't know about the M2.
