Taken in high res so you can see the parts etc and markings

Use two 27 Ω resistors in series for the 3 shown pg 28. Monitoring two freshly charged batteries, 8.09V, one R dropped .75V the other .738V, LED 1 [bright white ], 3.27V, LED 2., 3.30V, @25mA. I a little above rating of 20mA but of no consequence, as I have built many LED flash lights with 3 either N 0r AA cells, no resistors-no failures.One PV cell is too low in voltage to charge a 3.6V battery, so try 3 cells to charge 2 batteries, which then will light 2 LEDs in series with 1 or 2 27 ohm resistors. Open SW 1 before sun down to prevent discharging batteries back into PVs. Turn on SW 2 for about 2 hours of light.SW1 may be replaced with a Si diode. Open SW2 when light starts to dim to prevent over discharging battery. Try one unit & test, then
it can be expanded.
Have you figured out resistor color code? Attachment management is not working , will try later.
