Is the AAA-P affected by strong magnetic fields?

I have a pair of Neodymium hard drive magnets that i have stuck to my "Luxo" style desk lamp, i use them to hang my keyring from in the evening, I've noticed that the AAA-P will stick quite nicely to them when loaded with a battery (Energizer Lithium AAA)

I know the light is semi-regulated, is the regulation circuitry susceptible to strong magnetic fields, as produced by Neodymium magnets?

I dont think the Arc has wires made of iron, so it wont be physically damaged. When attaching it to the magnet, the fast change of magnetic flux can induce a current. But the light is made of conducting material, so the current should flow on the outside. I dont think it would have an effect, yust dont use the light attached to the magnet.
But im no expert, maybe someone knows better.

And remember I wrote a bit about EMP in the FAQ (arcflashlight.com).
