Default Magnet on personal strobe lite??

I have a couple neat personal strobe lites. Made by EverSafe. Really neat,
no exppensive batteries, just a single C cell. Velco arm band, the kind of
equipment you could afford to offer each crew member while on watch..

However! What I can't figure out is; Why Oh Why would they put a strong
circular magnetic in the base. That is the last thing I would want to have
laying about the cockpit or even any random storage location about the boat.
Something like this could drive a navigator crazy if not run the boat
aground, due to compass error.

I'm willing to take the magnets off the lights but the appear to be epoxied
into a recess in the light housing..

Anyone have any ideas on how to remove these magnetic discs without
distroying the water tight unit???
