Led's don't take much current to work.  Like the new ones with the one strip light but the other ones work pretty good too.  Have one in all the cab tractors and trucks.

 Right, there is supposed to be a thin plastic liner that keeps the battery from contacting the inside metal.
 If it slides down the outside of the bottom battery (neg) will conduct with the outside of the battery on top of it ,...
 which is touching the tip of the bottom one making it positive.
 SHORT!!!
 Easy fix.

LOL  I get the feeling that HF kinda shares the same level of enthusiasm as E10 gas.

Anyhow, I get along with both and liked the light so much that I bought another one yesterday.

I've picked up a couple of the LED lights when free with a purchase.  Decided to make a flexable metal holder on my small metal lathe.  the magnet holds the light in place and I can grab it off to find that small piece that ended up on the floor when I cut it off!!
