Ours ran on a single AA with the positive end facing into the flashlight. We made an acetal battery facsimile with a brass screw at the positive end. Wrapped the red wire around it and ran it up a groove milled into the side of the acetal. We then soldered a black wire to the case of the flashlight. The switch was in the rear end cap of the light, which was discarded. This light does have blink and strobe functions I think, but I believe they need to be triggered by repeated presses of the switch. If you leave the flashlight off long enough - something like a few seconds - it always reverts to turning it solid on when you apply voltage again.
I was really surprised to get the visibility and focus I got out of this little flashlight, which is roughly one inch in diameter and about 4 inches long.
