Looking for Battery Operated Light

I have an old antique hanging lamp my Dad gave to me.  It's a kerosene lamp but I'm not about to burn kerosene.  I was thinking I could clean out the small globe that held the kerosene and put in a tea light of sorts but the usual size of a tea light is too wide.  I could just hang it for decorative purposes but it's a really pretty light, pin/cranberry in color, and it would look pretty lit up.  Any idea where I can find different sizes of lights.

How about a string of those tiny lights?

If you google battery operated tea lights to use in Kerosene lantern different sites do come up. So you might find what you are looking for on one of those. It is a great idea!

That's an option.  i kind of wanted to keep the integrity of the antique look and not modernize it.  Thanks.

How about those luminara tea lights?  I saw a set in VPH the other night that caught my eye.
