One of the prototype boards shows the components. We have spent a long time getting this project to only have a minimal amount of components.  This should give The Perpetual Light a very long life expectancy. The Perpetual Light is an LED light that gets powered by an Ultra Capacitor which gets charged by a solar panel..  An Ultra Capacitor doesn't have as much power as a battery but it lasts for about one million cycles -- or over 2700 years -- of charging in the sun during the day and discharging at night!
