    * - Convenient and practical rectangular shape, hole for chain or rope.
    * - High efficiency coil
    * - THREE high brightness LED's

    In addition to being a Joule Thief learning circuit, the kit also serves as a low power flashlight.
    The light is not as bright as an ordinary flashlight, but makes a great low power - emergency flashlight. Since it runs on dead batteries, you will always have light!
    Easy printed circuit board assembly. High quality fiberglass circuit board. Single sided design without plated through holes, so it is easy for the beginner to solder and unsolder. Complete with all parts.
    What is a Joule Thief circuit?
    A joule thief circuit allows a fresh or 'dead' battery, to power one or more LED's. Normally a single 1.5 volt battery can not light an LED, as they require 2-3 volts to operate. The Joule Thief boosts the battery voltage to power the LED's.
    The circuit will work down to approximately 0.5 volts, so batteries you would normally throw out, will still power the circuit
    ! Battery not included. Complete with instructions. 30 day satisfaction guarantee return.
