I have attached more information concerning the parts of this system that I designed.  It would have worked well if I had used a simple 1-shot at IC5C and IC5D instead of trying to play a delay trick with an inverter gate.  This is the section that is supposed to give the brief "high pulse" to the LED's. NOTE:  It was not mentioned before that these cells are not happy when you leave them at a DC high voltage for an extended period of time.  You can apply an AC or flipping DC for 10 years, but if you leave one at DC, it has an ion migration that darkens the cell.  For this reason, you will notice IC6, which turns off all LED's if the helicity rep rate falls below 5 Hz.
