I only see the small type with momentary switches, with the exception of
a ridiculously expensive headlamp. Am I missing something?

Actually, there is one photon style microlight that works well for astro use,
called the Photon Freedom. It's due out in ~1 month and has a ramp up or
ramp down feature when the button is held so that it can be turned on as low as
0.2% power. These latest Nichia white LEDs make the thing about as bright as a
maglight at full power. Also comes with a ball-joint based hands-free clip
so the light can snapped into a holder, clipped and aimed anywhere.
