Ideally what you need is a 4.5v DC regulated output wallwart, then just
turn it on when you want the light on. One of the general purpose ones
designed to power battery powered devices with a (3, 4.5, 6v etc.)
voltage switched output should do


Bung a 7805 in the output and a diode in series with the output to drop
the voltage to 4.4v?
