We shotgun ordered a variety initially to get something that was reasonably light/small and also had a nice focused beam.

Were you able to use the flashlight linked with a battery with no issues?

It runs fine off a 3.3V regulator.
We initially did it on 0 lead time and were forced to do 5V regulator w/ two diodes in series to step voltage down. We ended up continuing all season this way because it was already installed on the robots.
We ended up going through a LOT of spares... not because they break, but because lots of teams at events start wanting them...
