I understand the OP's desire for a cradle-charged light... I am looking for one for my parents because I know they will just never get into the whole recharging batteries deal. Dare i say it, but most people out there do not think about flashlights until they need to use one right then and there, so having one charged and waiting in a cradle is the way to go.
My shortlist is the Strion LED (but only comes with a 120V charger in the US), the Inova T4 (120-240V) the Peli 8060 (120-240V) and maybe the Stinger LED (still uses an archaic NiCad battery... edit... I just saw the V3 version that uses NiMH). AFAIK these are about the only options that have a dedicated charging cradle (apart from Magcharger, but that thing is too big and old).
I'm also looking seriously at the iTP R01, which has no cradle but is charged by plugging in a USB charger (would have to buy a cheap wall-wart USB power supply). For the money it looks like a heck of a good light.
