I don't have pictures right now, but I modded an Energizer WP220 flashlight to fit a white LS without optics. This is a 2AA flashlight, but has a bunch of airspace for flotation purposes. I Dug out the plastic that held the 2AA's to make room for a Versapak Gold NiMH. These put out 3.6V, perfect for the LS. If you take the black butt off the end of the Battery, it's easier to fit. I just put a resistor in series and grinded down the reflector base that held the old bulb. I also ghetto rigged it so I could still turn on the light by twisting it (the positive is on the inside of the battery and the negative on the outside.) There's plenty of room for a switch, but I wanted to keep it water tight.
The lens on this flashlight is not good for using an LS (at least mine because it has no optics). There's a translucent wart in the center of the lens that projects a dark spot in the beam. I'm thinking of taking out the LS and putting in some Nichias around the wart to avoid dark spots.
The Versapak batteries are awesome, and should fit in just about any 2C flashlight. My next project will be to find a better flashlight to use the versapak/LS mod with.
