So I decided on 2X <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pololu.com\/product\/2109\" target=\"_blank\">Pololu 12V, 600mA Step-Down Voltage Regulators (D24V6F12)<\/a>. These are perfect in terms of power handling and physical size. They&#8217;re tiny at only .5g each!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/a.pololu-files.com\/picture\/0J4270.1200.jpg?2b609a2c91b3affea9e195c0296b94ee\" alt=\"\" width=\"419\" height=\"291\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So I decided to build a single part with both regulators. I discovered that the RCCC V2 switches the LED on the (+) side rather then (-) side, which was different than I originally soldered it, so it took me a couple of re-works. It&#8217;s not quite as neat as I hoped, but it works great!
