Question: has anyone tried wiring two 3.6v batteries in parallel to power a pointer? Is there any reason why this wouldn't work? The wiring would be cumbersome in a pen style pointer and the battery ends would have to be insulated from each other but I guess it could be done.

You can do it with "copper strips".

Ofcourse this requires extra insulation, but usually there is always some tolerances, in battery compartments, and a pair of extra layers of Kapton tape (or other similar thin insulating tapes) and another 0.1mm of copper strip, probably don't cause too much problems, in pen-style pointers.

It's silly to buy 10x blu-ray diodes if they're more expensive than 12x ones...

Why pay more for something less powerful? That doesn't seem to make sense to me.

It'd be nice if the sleds/diodes were sale for a price in between 12x and 6x sleds. like $35-$40.
