Replace 2 alkaline AAs with one of those (you'll need something conductive to fill the extra space) and you should have more stable voltage, and even a little higher than what the 2 alkalines in series provided. There are flashlights with extra pieces of tube so that you can switch among various batteries with similar diameter, but different overall length. You'd have to solve the same problem.Hi Guys:
