You need to buy the right one for the shaft you use. I build my own - they weigh less than the lumenok work as well or better, and cost under $4 per.
If you are going to buy, there is a much lighter one out there and works better than the lumenok... the name slips my mind, but someone will mention it I am sure.

They come in different sizes. It says on the back of the package which shafts they'll fit. I bought 6 and really like them. Arrows still fly like they would with a regular nock.

If you google home-made lighted nocks, you can see several styles. I have tried several designs, but settled on this one. It is the lightest one I have made, and seems the most durable. You use a nock, a thill bobber light, wire, glue and some elbow grease. Once you get the hang of it, you can make one in under 10 min. I am going to make up a few more in the next day or so, if there is any interest I can post some pics.
