[Shop-talk] Battery Closet Light

[Battmain]

Check out dealextreme.com

For the price of the cheap imported led stuff they
have, it might be worth some experimentation. I think
you could get away with all of the stuff for less than
$20 if you search for a really good deal. I think the 
most expensive part would be the magnetic micro switch
that you could wire in place of the one on the unit.
