The White LEDs are NSPW500BSs. I have some running on an LM3909 at 50% duty
1k pulse


    I'll have to try the white LEDs.  Were you the one using 3909s?  What
sort of duty cycle?

This doesn't sound eternal?!  Eternal is when they put the corpse in a block
of plastic!
You remind me that I was at a cemetery near Doylestown, PA recently and I
saw some solar powered Eternal Lights by some tombstones.  about 16-20
square inches of panel evidently storing into a battery thence to a
superbrite red LED in a translucent plastic block.  Shade the panel (i.e.
the sun went down) and the LED lit up.
