You do know that LED's must be wired in series with a resistor to make
them glow, right?


Actually, they don't. They have to be wired in series with a resistor
to keep them from eating your battery whole, but as long as you have
enough voltage, they'll light.

You can make the worlds smallest flashlight by just taping
the leads of an LED to either side of a watch battery.
