I had an inexpensive battery powered work light for the mill at one point. But I left the damned thing on by mistake- so when I wanted to use it, it was perpetually dead. I quickly learned not to bother buying batteries for it, because inevitably I did it again. Couldn't make it work for me.

But really, calculations for LEDs and resistors are very straightforward. As long as you can solder, it's not hard to do.
That's very nicely done! I'm not too worried about the battery situation, we have a house full of AA & AAA nicads...that's the advantage of having a 4 year old with too many toys, LOL!
