Anyway, I have now ordered the PRSA-CL6.

PS: BTW, the Sony Style page says about this that it will last "Maximum 19 hours at the standard brightness level" - which I don't find very encouraging so I'll see if I can hack together some way of using an AC adapter.
Now that makes me wonder how many LED's are being driven, and at what voltage... since even cheap Chinese LED flashlights with four or five LEDs tend to last longer than this, and if they used just one or two then it should be lasting quite a long time - over a hundred hours.

As for the rest, about the only thing I can think of is to find a way to convert AC power to 1.5v DC at whatever amperage that thing's driving the LED's with... and maybe seeing if you can find a 'dummy battery' to connect it to the light, if you're wanting to go that route.
