I don't mean to bring a dead horse back to life just to beat it, but I'm really new to this stuff. I've been over the P2N2222 and BC547 datasheets. Many pages of stuff I don't understand yet. Is power dissipation wasted power or the total amount of power that can be put through the device? I have built a joule thief using some random on hand transistor and would like to make the most efficient joule thief possible. So to power a single led from a single cell would it be better to use the BC547 or the P2N2222 and why? if you don't mind the "why" I would really appreciate the explanation.
Thank You, John
