TB will confirm, but I see 3 possibilities to make this tube work:
1. You make a solder blob on the positive contact or the LE. This will void the mechanical reverse protection that LE have whithou this blob.
2. You make a solder blob on the positive contact or the batterie.
3. You use a magnet
I
personnally chose 1, because I believe the reverse polarity protection is a non-issue. Just be carreful when you put the batt in and switch the light on. But that's personnal taste, some to not like the idea of modifying the LE. Or just want this reverse protection. You might not want to be careful about polarity or blew a LE at the worst timing if you are a law enforcement person.
If you use 2, the blob should be done fast, not to overheat the cell. I don't know what the consequences could be... Just like some don't like the idea to alter the LE, I personnally don't like the idea of altering the battery.
If you use 3... I believe there is a very small, but still is a risk that the magnet moves and short the batt. It souds unlikely, especially if the ground path was made internally on the LE... Still I personnally don't like the idea of something in my light that can move, even if it's unlikely.
Last but not least, due to lenght tolerance of the tube, I doubt you can use 1 and 2 at the same time. So choose what you prefer to modify : the LE or the batts.

Yo Scott, does this mean that I will have to put a blob of solder on top of the battery? Will this work?
