Step 2: Schematic

Since I am an EE, it was a fairly simple matter to select an LED driver IC, design a circuit and lay out a small PCB. Schematic is attached; it's essentially straight from the MIC2299 data sheet except for the inclusion of the solar panel connector and D1, which allows the solar panel to recharge the battery.

On the schematic, J3 is where the on/off switch attaches and J4 is for the brightness pot.
