If you open up and remove the part which screws into the bulb socket, cut the wires soldered to voltage regulator. Those wires can be connected directly to two AA batteries, as they only need 3Volts DC and the light will run for days on two AA batteries. When gluing the round magnets into the base bottom and bottom cover lid with battery tray, maintain the correct polarity on both sides of the magnets, or your lid will not close if magnets repel each other instead of attracting. (The need to face the correct direction corresponding to mating magnet) I also used super glue from Walmart to assemble the basket before bolting it down to top and bottom, but that is not necessary. I was building two lamps at the same time, which took the entire weekend. The project came out better than I expected. Very pleased with the results. Good luck with printing.
