Free-light constant on solution anyone?

Just got my Free-light, a nice backup when you don't have extra batteries. The only problem is the lack of a constant-on switch, and pressing the strongly sprung button gets tiring real fast.

A clothes-pin would work, but impractically big. Some kind of metal clip might work, but there's not a lot of area on the opposite side of the light for the clip to gain purchase on.

Anybody figure our a simple, cheap solution?

LOCO is more like it.
Wish I could dig up the pictures. We had fun with this!

Wait - here was mine:

But seriously, a small black binder clip works perfectly, and it is what I used on my last big trip with the Freelight. Use the one that is almost the same width as the thickness of the light. You have to really pinch the clip wide open. Works great.
