Here is a real cute mod, made from a tiny flip pen/
flashlight.

Just one screw and take this thing apart. We are going to gut it, and cut the orange pen holder in half.

I had a small pc board with push switches on it, so I cut it in half so I could use one switch.

I cut out the battery holders and notched the existing slide switch hole to fit the new pc board switch.

I am using the old Tr10440 battery again. I cut a battery spring to size for the negative end, and will use a piece of tin or old battery terminal for the positive side.

Now I am working on the atty connector and orange swivel holder. A little trimming and it fits.

I notch the orange swivel tube about half way around. just so I can feed a flexible wire through it.

Going to fit like this.

(Skipping the tedious wiring details). I wire all connections and include the LED.

And I put this sucker back together. Fits pretty good. No problems.

Real tiny and feels good. Has a keychain too.
