The battery pack I'm talking about is regulated to 6 volts but only provides 1A output. Not sure if the Phillips draws more than that but thought it worth mentioning.
If I remember right, I think the problem with that is that the Phillips has some sort of built-in time-out where it turns itself off after a certain period of time, doesn't it? I seem to remember people wiring that up, but the light would shut off at the same time every time, and they had to physically disconnect then reconnect the battery pack then it would keep running.
