I've thought about it but I haven't tried. The IMR's good for 4a max. with 550mah capacity and the 1185 pulling 3.3a, runtime would be miniscule. Not worth it IMHO.

I once ran an M6 HOLA assembly on two AW16340's just to see how it would work. It didn't work well. Pretty dim compared to stock brightness and it was above the cells rated discharge rate.

I don't know off the top of my head what the WA1185's current draw is, but I remember it's pretty high.

theoratical luminous effeciency of quartz bulbis 24lm/w
if you know how many lumens it gives(in fully driven), you can estimate the power of nominal usage
in result you get the current drawn(nominal usage) by ohm's law
and compare it to the IMR's max. discharge rate
