@TheAlabamaCajun leds run at 30ma at 3.5 volts. or so. and i think the joule theif pumps about 4-5V

@jayson01982 Unfortunately the schematic is not my doing so i cannot post it i can simply redirect you to his website and for the way it work it's basically 9 LED in parallel with capacitor this was one of the first "high power" one that I've made so the new model have some improvement. I found out the LED work better if they are mount in series since they draw less amp but require higher voltage. "webpages.charter.net/dawill/t

@jayson01982 There's no magic in there its a basic joule thief circuit with a little more power. Its not my design so ill simply direct you to the web site!

can you send me the schematic diagram plssss..
cool, what kind of circuit did you use? can you give it to me?

@boryshacker It's a rather simple circuit the one found on most web site all parts and component are really not critical this joule thief cost me a big 0$ and work quite well too :P webpages.charter.net/dawill/tmoranwms/Elec_JT.html

1.5V x 0.250 = 0.375 Watts from your experiment.
2.1V x 0.020 x 9 = 0.378
Assumed 9 of 2.1V LEDs running at 20mils which says it's not saving energy but is a very efficient boost circuit. JTs run cool meaning very little loss to heat.

@TheAlabamaCajun Thanks for your comment and the time to calculate the power consumption. If i remember correct those white LED work at around 3~3.5 volts. But in any way this was only fun to build.

the schematic diagram of this joule thief with 9 leds with capacitor
thanks and more power
