i think gon has a sticky on how to make one as well.  just remember, if you use those, you will have to re-sight in your bow, as they will be a good bit heavier than your traditional nocks.

I think this is what they are using, with a little searching you might find them more economically priced  http://www.cabelas.com/fryprod-0/product--Thill8482-Nite-Brite8482-Replacement-LightBattery--751530.uts.shtml

You might take a look at these already made up for the application they are being used for, I'm not sure how durable the Thills are
