Step 3: Finish
when you finish this just bent cathode back.
when you want to use it just push cathode to - end of battery and light comes....
one note, my LED is glowing ok but battery is half discharged ( i scrap 50 batterys from old motherboards so half of them are discharged and half is around 2.8 v )
this flashlight can work as mouch as led throwie (1-2 weeks constant, or on daily use from bed to bathroom = 1 year)
