I would like to make a Laser glove, and have a few questions, as i have never made a DIY laser project before.

1. Would these diodes be ok? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10091
2. What batteries should i use?
3. How do i fit all the batteries on the glove?
4. Could i connect all the diodes up to 1 battery holder (Assumming it had enough power?) Or would each one need its own battery holder?
5. Do i just connect the batteries to the diodes, or do i need anything else?

those modules come with their own regulator inside each unit, so all you'd have to do is get like a 2x AA battery holder and wire all the modules to it - not much else you need to do

well you could get enough voltage for them with 2 AAs but the run time would be horrible. A good idea would be one CR123 for each module. They have rechargeable's and chargers on DX as well. Those generally give you 3.5-4V when fully charged and have a decent run time. Along with being a smaller size. I have no idea if there are normally accessible battery holders for them though.

2AAs would be fine, the modules only draw around 50mA IIRC. The laser glove could stay on quite a long time on 2 AAs because the whole rig should only draw around 250mA.

Ah I was thinking about high power again! ::) With the low level modules it should work alright then. I guess I have laser burning fever. ;D
