Just a thought, picked a few of these up at HF on sale for $3.99. All you need to keep is the 9 LED head, throw the rest of it away, turn up a little adaptor on the lathe from a chunk of aluminum. Replace the clear with a red lens, a couple of ohms resistance in series and they are good to go with a 6v supply.
