How much power do you need to store and how much power does your "shaker" produce? You need to know these things before you go looking for parts.

You can use a super capacitor instead of battery. With one capacitor of 1 Farad value, you can use one Ultrabright LED to get good light. For more details of how to make one, you can see http://www.didyouknow.zymichost.com/ledtorch/index.htm ( I have made it myself. You can see a photorgraph and other details on this link )
