Improve and fix a head lamp using Sugru

The battery door of the lamp has this little latch to hold it down. This latch broke.
So I ended up fixing it with Sugru.
Now it's even better:
- door is repaired
- a lot better handling, battery door is easier to open than before
- shock protection when lamp falls down

Also I might have a very valuable trick for the users:
To avoid Sugru from sticking on certain surfaces, put wrapping film (cling film) between it. As shown on 2 of the pictures.
I did this with the door of the lamp, to avoid Sugru from sticking to the main housing of the lamp. This way I got a very snug shape of the Sugru to the main housing of the lamp.

Since it is such a good shock absorber, I will probably go ahead and put some Sugru on the other side of the lamp as well for shock protection.
