I've used cyalume's before, but wouldn't trust my life to them.
I've found many DOA freshly out of the package.

Krill lights are another handy item to have in the cockpit. They run on
a single AA and will last 40-50 hours. The light does not destroy your
night vision. Also available in assorted colors.



Then there's plain-ol' cyalume lightsticks. Assorted colors, long-term
storage, long-lasting, fairly cheap. You can also buy holders that let you
modulate the amount of light released. Good option for emergencies, or for
folks who fly at night only rarely.

I used one of these to light my panel on a night flight about seven years
ago. I posted the story here, and added it to my web page as well:
