You know, everyone lights up LEDs in their own way. Here are some of the conventional ways. Some people use CC for accurate control that can adjust for temperature changes. Others just use a resistor and a constant voltage, which is simpler and is best suited for certain applications, especially with minimal power. But I am a little unique. I like to do this. It might not be too good for component life, but it is simple and it lights up pretty bright. And you can have very loose connections and it will arc to the LED. Extremely convenient!

It uses inductive spiking from a small rewound step up transformer. It is powered by a PS that goes into CC when there is overcurrent. It shocked me a few times, but it was not too much worse than bad static. I would take many more precautions if it was continuous or could supply more power. I will design a proper circuit for it soon.
Seriously though, could someone explain why this is happening, and why they actually work?
