If you have the time, tools and materials this can be a fun
project.  I suggest you look closely at well regarded commercial
lights and also the DIY web sites to get both ideas and the names
of parts suppliers.

You can do this with a magnetic switch without having to compromise
the integrity of the battery or light-head compartment with another
through port.


If you are in a hurry to test your ideas you should be able
to get some RG-8/U or RG-214 coax for just about free at a
local hamfest.  It's 13 AWG and it takes compression well.
