Wii Sensor Bar using 1.6 forward voltage IR LEDs from Adafruit:

And this 5 ohm resistor:

I'm using a 9V source because it's really common. You could use a 9V 2.1mm DC in, a PP3 battery, or even 6 double or triple A's (non-recharcheable only in this case)

Each side has the LEDs wired in series and then each set is wired in parallel.
