two magnets soldered on to the lead could do the job. and when you want it disconected slip in a piece of paper. i think

This also wouldn't work. You can't solder to magnets because they will lose their magnetic power.

You SURE about EVERYTHING??? REALLY???

Maby you could just hold the wires on the battery with a large aligator clip if you don't want to solder it?

Soldering could cause the cell to explode. Using one alligator clip to hold the 2 wires on would cause a short. The simplest way would be tape.

um actually it doesn't, as long as you don't leave heat on it for a minute or two it works fine

not really, well i knew soeone would do this, but these ar much brighter nd have on/off ability

Use low temp solder, and only JUST enough to make it stick, and it'll be fine. If you get the battery too how, like using a 45W iron for 2-3 min, it'll boil, the pop. if you're really worried about ssafety, and/or don't/can't solder..... Get some arctic Silver CONDUCTIVE epoxy, and use that instead. Just about any conductive epoy will work, or heck, if you're careful, a dab of hot glue (thin near the edges, and thik in the middle for better hold) will suffice

Can anyone tell me how to print the instructions without losing the areas that have been outlined with the yellow box. Every time I try to print out instructions with the box, I end up with a white box, or dead space. Any help would be most appreciated! Thx

Im not sure but i think soldering onto a button cell can be dangerous, just wanted to let you know. I have know idea wether this is true or not, just a throught
Sgt.Waffles says: Apr 27, 2007. 9:08 PM
Thats really easy. I am terrible at soldering, but it sounds like a neat idea. i could probobly make some sort of case for it too. good instructable. +
meddler says: Apr 27, 2007. 8:55 PM
P.S. maby there is a way to mount this in a empty film canister?
meddler says: Apr 27, 2007. 8:54 PM
I have been looking for something just like this. I don't know much about electronics, but i can solder ok.Now i can read at night without bugging my wife,i'll just keep it on with a clothes pin.
