Here’s the actual circuit diagram of the PumLantern’s circuit. It’s more
useful for those of you who might want to modify your PumLantern, or
build a second out of parts.

NHANCEMENTS
You might have noticed that there are little pads on the tabs that stick out
of your PumLantern. Once side has a single square pad, which is the
ground pad that connects to common grounds in the circuit.
The other tab has two pads: One labeled “S” and one “B”.
The “S” pad lets you add an additional solar cell (connected between “S”
(+) and the ground pad). This lets you use a large cell and have it power a
whole string of lanterns at the same time.
The “B” pad lets you directly connect to the battery (with the ground tab)
for easy recharging, or measuring voltage.
