Single Alkaline Battery Drives White LED ED, Oct 27, 03

I like this circuit. :-] It uses those wimpy 2N3904s, which can't handle even 200 mA, and they expect it to drive a LED and suck over 40 mA from the battery. Gimme a break. Let's get a _real_ transistor in there, a 2N4401, or better, a BC338.
