You can buy them already made if you do not want to do it yourself.

$10? You can buy the thill light for $3.49/ea. plus the nocks, which is what about $.50/ea.
I made mine so that they turn on when I shoot, and then I can pull on the nock and shut them back off. Easy to make, a couple grains lighter than the lumenoks, and work just as well, if not better!
The thing people don't (sometimes) take into account is their TIME. I have fun working on projects at home......but this one just doesn't interest me (when I can buy them relatively cheap). I can see where this would be a fun hobby for some, though. If I've got power tools in my hands, though.....the wife's gonna want to know why I'm not installing crown moulding or remodeling a bathroom .

I agree with ya GMMAT - people keep forgeting about the time thing. I personally would love to try it - it seems like something I would enjoy doing in my free time. For others, not their cup of tea.

I'm wondering....for those of you who shoot a/c/c's....if you'll be able to fit the home made ones into those arrows. Lumenok apparently hasn't figured out a way to do it, yet. I say this because it's the only thing keeping me from totally switching over, right now.
I shoot A/C/C's and I'm thinking that because the G'shave really narrow throats, you might have to come up with a smaller light - although I haven't messed withthem much.(Because of the whole time thing - the crown mouldingreference had me rolling!)

The last I heard, Kansas was making the lighted nocks "legal". So if that all goes through, then I mihgt try using them this fall.

With the lumenoks every animal I shoot with them they break. I have shot at least 9 or 10 hogs in the last couple of months, all passthru's every time the lumenoks broke? I love watching them fly but $10 a piece. I might try making some of those.
