My spark did fine. So did my zebra.

He then said the hell with it and put on his HP10 backup and finished the trip with that lamp. My wife used my HP11 that I have, she hated how spotty it was, and hated the halo ring from the diffuser as well, lol. I changed her batteries for her and didnt have any short issues but I always make sure never to get the batteries muddy or wet when changing them.
