Here are some more information for Diode Power:

A Guide to Powering your Campsite
Camping and the great joys of experiencing the outdoors, the fresh air, beautiful scenery, peace and quiet, the bird cherping and the ever increasing feelings of peace. Although this is definitly the whole outlook of a camping experience, there are advantages to modern civilization, too, and not all of them have to be left behind. Their is a place for cooking over a fire or having a lighting source other than a kerosene lamp or even having a cell phone, GPS units or other devices that all require some kind of power.
To have these modern conviences their needs to be a power souce to tap into. Most power sources are gas or electric, though liquid fuels like 'Coleman fuel' or white gas, kerosene and unleaded gasoline are used as well. If you drive an RV to the campsite, you may be able to power a number of things off the RV, either by connecting to large batteries, or using it as a generator. But most sources will require a self-contained source.
Back in the day the only power source available was kerosene, which was a popular choice for both cooking and lighting. But the unpleasant smell made it less than ideal. Today, most lighting is electric. Coleman-style lamps are everywhere, even though Coleman is far from the only manufacturer. Being copied is the price of producing a successful design.
Solar powered lighting is becoming more common and is a valid source for any campsite. Most campsites, at least during non-winter months, have ample sunshine anywhere outside heavily tree-shaded areas. Photo-voltaic cells are used to absorb all that free energy, storing it up for later use. They convert that radiant energy into electrical power, typically storing it in rechargeable batteries. Depending on the strategy solar cells can power a great majority of a campsite.
The efficiency of contemporary solar cells is so high that lamps can now be used for up to 12 hours, and some have mechanisms for powering other devices as well. One type, the Everlite (http://www.newlite.com), can supply power to recharge cell phones, Blackberries, iPods, GPS units and other devices.
One way solar powered lamps accomplish that amazing task is by using bulbs that use electricity very efficiently - such as LEDs. The older generation will remember LED clocks and watches from the 1970s. Those clocks had red numbers, made from a series of dots or lines composed of Light Emitting Diodes.
Back then, they required substantial power, but they've been vastly improved. LEDs (no longer just red) can now produce very bright, natural spectrum light with a minimum of power. For example, LED bulbs used in the home (not solar powered), can last 10 years or more, while consuming much less electricity to illuminate them.
One of the drawbacks of traditional electric Coleman lamps is the need for heavy batteries - either the large, rectangular (and massive) 6 volt type or several D-sized. With modern fluorescent or LED-type lamps that's no longer necessary. The power requirements are much lower.
An alternative to electrical lamps is the still-popular propane or kerosene. Either can be used as a means of producing light, and they are cost-effective and produce adequate light. But refilling propane devices is less convenient and kerosene still has that unpleasant smell. For those who prefer them, however, they are available and usually at lower cost than solar powered or LED lamps.
Whichever method you prefer, always pack at least two lighting sources - a Coleman-style table lamp with a handle that can be hung on a branch or set down and a flashlight. You'll use both frequently.
But if a total disconnet from modern conviences is not your ball of wax, they their is one more choice, a portable generator. Although some of these generators could be a little cumbersom, they are still portable enough to carry just about anywhere. Most portable generators run off of gasoline. This is a big drayback because gasoline is so flamable. But a generator can provide all the electricity needed to support a full camp. One other drawback from a generator is the fumes. So, if you like and want to use this choice don't enclose the generator within any quarters.

How much power does a cd player laser diode need?
i felt like messing around with an old broken cd player i have and i was wondering how much power i would need to light up the laser diode inside, it has three pins and i think the pin out is this
http://www.styropyro.com/lasers/violet/brpo.JPG
You won't see much light (other than possibly a faint red glow) from a CD player laser as they operate in the near infrared region. The light is dangerous to the eyes anyway.
Find something else to mess around with.
