    How do I regulate voltage AND current?

    I apologize for being unclear.  My original idea was not to have the LED light up when the capacitor was empty, but to have it be powered by the capacitor being drained.  Thus, what I would expect to see is the LED lighting up and then slowly dimming until it was off when there was no longer...
