teeheeehee
look what I caught, a new kit!
an anglerfish which is a flashlight.
charge it for like 10 seconds, it stays lit for many minutes (IDK I just soldered these two, made photos, edited, wrote the post, they're still lit).
the big round component is a 5.5V and 1.5F supercap, or gold cap as some call them.
the tail fin is a USB-A for charging.
you can use either the switch or the pushbutton.

@wenzellabs@vis.social those supercaps are interesting! I have to check these. All my paper circuits use coin cells CR2032 and these seem to be a similar form factor.
