For the PA illuminator, I ditched the OEM one (powered by a CR2032 battery) as my copy did not turn off, the red LED just dimmed but there was no <click> to turn it off, so I was concerned about battery drain.
I found that the plastic, orange coloured electrical conduit as found in Bunnings, fitted nicely in the illuminator hole, so I cut off a 3 or 4 cm length, drilled a 12mm dia hole at one end and screwed in an illuminated eyepiece reticule battery unit whose brightness I can vary as appropriate. It also switches off positively.
