I would have to hack into the Philips circuitry. I tried and you can't just hook power to the light when running - the instant you plug in, the light shuts off, and it won't come back on again until you unplug.
I'm not thrilled about the idea of buying a brand new light and immediately throwing out the power system and hacking it.
I may decide to buy a B&M Ixon IQ Speed (perhaps the Premium version) extra lamp head - they sell that separately - then attach a LiIon pack, with regulator if necessary. But right now I'm just using my $30 ebay light and decided it's good enough.
