You can put one of those 12volt remote batteries in there and pop a white 5mm led in place of the bulb. Simplest that I am aware of.

Raggie, there used to be a guy at whiteleds.com ( or something like that ) that would sell them in small quantities. He was a good guy.
I'll try to remember when I get home tonight to see if I have any laying around from when I modded my Solitaire.

The 3mm LED fits right in the top without needing to modify the reflector- and if you seat it right- you'll actually get focus like it did with the old lamp!
(I've done a few of these myself-)
Make a spacer for the battery with a dowel pin about the diameter of the battery- then add a 100 ohm or so resistor to limit the juice to the led by grinding a groove in the dowel and wrapping the leads around (end to end) the dowel.
