Has anyone yet seen a headlamp with a REGULATED CREE bulb?

Since the CREE bulbs are brighter than Luxeon bulbs & use less power I've been waiting for a good company like Princeton Tec to make one with regulated circuitry (to keep the brightness steady over most of the battery life). Ideally it would have at least 3 brightness levels plus a flashing mode.

Seems proper regulated circuitry is beyond those Frenchies that make Petzl so maybe Black Diamond or Brunton could also make one as well.

I have a small Coleman pop-up Cree LED lantern for home and car camping use. It's VERY bright for its size. Coleman comes up with fairly well thought out stuff.

Princeton Tec will be releasing the "new" EOS sometime in June that will have the new Luxion Rebel 80 Lumen LED. In all of their tests, they have had the best consistency and light quality out of the Rebel than any other they've tested to date (including the Cree).

The new EOS will be as bright as the current Apex (65+ Lumens), but will not drain anymore battery power than the LED their currently running in it. The EOS is already voltage regulated and completely waterproof. The price will also be the same ($39.95).

The Apex and Apex Pro will also receive and upgrade to the 100 Lumen Rebel LED. This will increase light ouput significantly. Again, it will be available in June sometime.
