Hi,
first post here I was wondering if somebody could help me with this little circuit. It a joule thief type circuit that powers a 3V led from a 1.5 battery. I have built the circuit and it works almost as it should but it's not quite as bright as it should be,the LED is brightish, but not brilliantly bright like a white LED should be. I would like some suggestions for component values to change, to make the LED brighter.
Here is the circuit I used (I did not design it, found it somewhere on the Internet )
Thanks for any help.
