Just a suggestion, a 2xAAA light sounds more "slim and trim" than a 'Tool AA:
The Lumintop IYP365 is the first that comes to mind. The RovyVon A33 or Wuben E19 could be another couple options. The Reylight Pineapple Mini 2xAAA is (was?) available in stonewashed Ti. The 1xAAA 'Mini was available in black, hopefully Rey restocks them soon with the updated tailcap.
Also, the Emisar D2 would roughly be the same size as a 'Tool AA and you could pick the emitters.
High CRI, warm white thrower LED. I can't think of any good thrower LEDs like this, they were all CRI 70 at best and 6500k (old SFT-40, W1, W2).
The Nichia 519A and 719A are high CRI, but they can't be driven as hard as the SFT-40.
