   I obtained the best light output so far last night, by using only one loop and led bulb, with just the 100nf before the L3, and NO cap after the L3.  But, for some still unknown reason, the second loop and led won't light at the same time as the first loop.

   So, as far as I can see,  neither the 10nf or the 100nf are actually needed.  As each additional component is only lowering the very limited output at the bulb.
    For me, the important thing is the amount of light that can be provided, not the low mAs it consumes.  However, I still can't get both loops to work together, on both polarities.  So, I'm still working on this.
   Has anyone else (besides Itsu) gotten both loops working together, and outputting a reasonable lumins levels?

   So far, this is my best light output, below, as of this morning.  Which is now going past just the previous lower night light level.
Using two L3 coils and no 0.1 or 0.01uf cap on the lit bulb. The second bulb still won't light though. I need to figure out why that is. 
     Consider that the camera is still dimming the bulb intensity on the images below.
   Update: Both loops working individually. Lighting fairly well. Second image below.
   The light output is about the same on both bulbs, unlike how it shows up on the image. The closer bulb is being dimmed by the camera to a higher degree than the second bulb which is further away.  The ugly solder blobs on the 4148 diodes are there on purpose. So, it's not just due to my lousy solder job.

   While aiming for better output and light levels, I almost threw my camera (cell phone) across the room, from the shock this little oscillator gave me tonight, while trying to take a picture to show how the LED bulbs look now. As you can see, one can hardly see the bulbs anymore. And the shocks are no joke.
  Of course, I was barefooted.
  So, guys. Don't give up on this project, just yet. There's still a lot more to learn here.

hi nick z, can you provide us with your circuit diagram please.
i just bought the crystals and very likely i will have most of the other components
thanks.

Nickz-----That light output looks great!  I agree with Seychelles about providing us some details on how you got that.  Thanks for persisting on this project.  It is inspiring to me.  Sometimes we quit too soon when the goal is just around the corner.

   Guys:   I'm still using the same crystal oscillator driver that I have mentioned previously.   However, I could not get the two diode loops to work at the same time. Seams like the two 0.01uf, or 0.1uf caps may be the cause.  So, I connected two L3 coils to the same transistor (the D400 transistor) collector's output, and now have them both working together.  There is a 0.1uf cap on each of the L3s input side. I also connected both loops to the battery negative rail. But, I'll have to show how I did that in a video. 
   I will try to see if I can use only one of the diode loops for the LED bulb, and the second loop output as a feed back circuit back to the input. I'm still not there yet, as I've been working on obtaining some use able light output, first. As up to now, the output provided by the crystal oscillator was not very use full. So, I will be trying that feed back path, next.   
   Below is the crystal oscillator circuit that I'm currently using, as well as the (non crystal) controllable oscillator circuit, which I've not built, yet.
   For the moment I can report, that the "double diode loop", is where the magic lies...     
   Any questions, are welcome.                                                                                                NickZ
   
    EDIT:  I have seen that there are LED bulbs which work on the normal AC 120v grid source, as well as self running on a small battery inside the bulb, which allows for the SAME lumin levels, and are as bright as the grid source, and can last for 5 hours. They are like a dual purpose emergency back up leds, when the power goes out.  I will try to buy one of those bulbs.
