homemade red led magnetic lantern

[HighVoltage]

I would like to either find or make a red led lantern that I could hang off the steel ceiling at work. If there isn't anything readily available I thought I could make a circuit and house it in a clear pelican case with some neodyme magnets either behind the circuit or attached to the back of the case. If I make it I would like to run it off of rechargeable batteries. It would be used for reading in the dark so it would be fairly dim. I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions

How about a red lithium Glo-toob? On low, they will run a long time, and can take li-ion rechargeables.

sounds like it would work. but might be a lil too dim for an 8'x10' area but I can give it a shot J-D
