Alternative to a battery-driven LED tealight: A G4 LED is 12 V AC/DC, but can be used with every DC voltage between 9 and 20 volts due to its built-in stepdown converter. Typically, I use an old laptop power supply (19 V). The base fits perfectly on the following tealight shade: Voronoi LED Egg tealight shade made by funkshin https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1554362 It has an inner diameter of 39.8 mm at the bottom.
