'I would use an LM317 as current regulator to supply the 60mA the filament needs.'YUCK ! Don't do it like this , LM317 is a horrible sounding thing , only good for heaters not filaments . I would recommend what nature intended : a 2V lead acid battery (look up 'Cyclon') . Alternatively current drain is so low that a stack of 2 rechargeable AA cells and a series resistor would also be ideal way of lighting these up
