The main problem might be that the battery packs for these lights arent made to hold AAs.
You could use a 3x123 size packs, but then you would have wasted space and a longer light than you need.
What you need is an Arc LS, or modified one.
They have an option of a 2AA pack.
The problem is, Arc is out of business, and there are few left. That drove thier price up, especially for midified ones. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Dont mean for this to sound like a total shameless plug, but I plan to have a few LS mods for sale in a few weeks. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Then there are the mini mag mods.
You can get a sandwitch from teh shoppe, and mod your minimag in about 5 minutes flat.
Runs off 2AA just like it always did, and will be ALOT better than a stock minimag.
You may be looking for a better host thoguh, something better looking etc.
