Toggle a LED on/off using a battery, pushbutton and ... ?

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if it would be possible to have a simple circuit that toggles a LED on/off from a 3v battery. I do not intend to use a micro controller for this simple task.

Do you know how to achieve this or what to look for? Is there a name for this particular circuit/solution?

I'm thinking that a transistor might help with this but I am not sure on how to keep the LED on.

Thanks

Google "LED flasher", pretty simple thing to create.
Basicaly a flip flop from a couple of transistors, and RC circuit for timing.

Hi CrossRoads,

Thanks! I'm actually looking for something quite different, which I should have explained.

What I want is a circuit that has a LED and a push button. When I press the button the LED should go on, and stay on. Until the button is pressed again. After which it should go off.

I think Im looking for a soft latch power switch.
