You may also want to look into proper directional projection LED's that are intended to be used as an illuminating light source...

It looks like you've just got standard LED's
To add to this:

Gutting a $20 Chinese Surefire knock off would be a good place to start for getting that light up and running. Rewire the contacts so you can position the CR123's anywhere you want in the case, and then wire your pressure switch to replace the momentary / constant clicker switch of the flashlight.
