Power supply for lasers
I need some help with a sculpture project I'm working on. I need to power six laser pointers, the type that runs on 3 LR44 (357) batteries, with an AC supply so it can be exhibited without having to constantly replace batteries. I am also working on another project that will only use two lasers. If anyone can help with this or can suggest a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance!

Well, you need a supply that gives you 5VDC at maybe 100-150 milliamps, that should be pretty easy to come up with. Any P/S that is intended to power or charge USB devices would be a perfect fit.

Here's one for $4.89 and free shipping if you order today: http://www.cellularfactory.com/det.jsp?d=14412&c=8030

Or a Google Search will turn up MANY more.
