hi, would u mine to put white background for ur text? bcoz i can barely see those text  thanks. Btw, is it i'm cutting the wrong diode leg?

(on diode text ) wrong cut. cut the other side not
that one look at the broo xee pic that provided

(on resistor text) when removed the neon i put the
other end of the tube on that place were the
neon is so locate were the neon  and put the
other end of tube there and on that same line
look if one of the resistor is on that spot
meaning that spot is the right
side of the tube to be connected and as i
can see here this is the one im telling you
now if this resistor is same circuit on the neon
you just removed then connect the other tube here
follow the line and connect the other end of tbe there.

==thats the text on the pic diode side and resistor side==

@ All

I now have my 5 yo son's nightlight up and working for the last few days, all I have to do is switch the charge switch on and the red(LED) comes on to show it charging the supercap, then when it has reached the charge that I want it to in the supercap, then the green(LED) comes on, I then switch the charge switch off.

When night comes and we put our 5 yo son to bed, I switch his nightlight on, and it shines quite good for
1x LED, and it usually lasts all night till morning, then its quite dim in the morning.

I usually charge the supercap up to only about 1.3-1.5v ,that seems to light the LED all night for him.

I could charge it up to 2.5v or even 2.7 if I wanted to, but hey! it works fine as it is...

The box is a clear lid one at approx 60x65x40mm dimensions, the small solar cell is outside at 4.0v 80mA.

The current draw is very low for this 1x LED joulethief.
