I think your best bet would be to get some GitD o-rings and put them around the bezel flutes. And/or putting a GitD fob at the end of a lanyard (which could be made out of GitD paracord).

If you want to get really fancy, get a fob with a tritium vial in it. If you don't know what tritium is, it's a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that emits (harmless) beta particles that "excite" the GitD phosphors. The vial is glass, and the inside is coated with GitD paint. The result is a glow-in-the-dark object that glows without recharging for years (half-life of tritium is 12.4 years). The most common application is for dials and indicators, like aircraft or watches (like the Luminox SEAL ones). Popular applications for us gadget geeks is keychain fobs and flashlight inserts.

These were probably originally sourced from deal extreme or some other chinese import company. No clue if they'll work in your light, but they seem to do well in Fenix tailcaps.
