How do you use this type of PCB (how do you connect components in it) ? I'm really stuck with this question; I'm not asking you to make an instructable (although that would be the ideal thing), I just need help with my issue of not knowing how to connect components on the PCB shown in the images of the l.e.d. reading lamp.

If you look at the second photo you can see how the components are connected at the back. A rather neat job, too. A higher resolution image would be nice, though. And I'm not sure if those crossovers on the lower right side are touching or not. I'd have used insulated wire if not, but that's just my preference.
Actually, a top-down photo would be nice too, if possible
