LED desktop thingy!
I bought a china made LED torch cum table lamp. Costed very less.
Charges well gives 8Hour backup minimum(did not check when it goes off) from a 6hour charge
What is special here is it is a torch with a flip 6ultrabright LED panel.The panel tilts at 15degrees , so you can point the LED sets all directions... that is too much the price of 1 cup coffee in some places .Panel can be hidden when used as torch.
But there is a problem!
The table light /torch loses the intensity after 3hours to 60%.
There must be a way to keep intensity same. I needed a constant current source at least 0.5A.
I searched on net and got (LED driver) : http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=236260

And I know about joule thief circuit ->simple 1 or 2 transistor circuit increases the voltage.
Here is joule thief:
(i assume battery is 6v )
Plan is :
battery(6v)>joule thief(9v)>LED driver>LEDs
smooth white light till battery loses the charge (if backup become 6Hrs , fine na!)
