This is my version of an LED firefly, built with what I think is the smallest parts count and drawing the least amount of power that I can.

Very low power LED firefly

Here is the entire parts list: 1 ATtiny13a MCU 1 Green LED (diffused lens works best) 1 1 Mohm, 1/8-watt resistor (1/4-watt works also, of course) 1 CR2032 coin-cell battery 1 CR2032 coin-cell battery holder Naturally, the MCU spends most of its time in sleep mode to keep the power drain down. I'm using power-down mode for sleep, then using a watchdog interrupt to bring the MCU out of sleep. Additionally, the MCU does not turn on the LED unless the light level is dark enough.
