Zelco Multi-Task Light Pen, Silver

I ordered this pen for my husband, who likes to get up at night and write down his dreams. He ended up buying another pen because: 1) The light on this pen is very bright and would light up the whole room. He rubberbanded a small balloon around the light bulb to dim it. 2) because the light is attached to a wire on the side of the pen, my husband said his hand would often block the light from what he was actually writing.He found another where the light actually comes out around the writing tip, and he's a lot happier with that one.

We bought these lighted pens as a gift. Got an extra one for ourselves. As a pen they write great, but as a light they aren't so great. Ours worked for about a week. The one we gave as a gift lasted less than two weeks. The flexible light shaft comes loose from the pen and the lights stop working. Keep looking, there must be better lighted pens than these.

I was amazed I could still get it as long as time had passed after I'd bought it before. I repeated my mistake of disassembling the pen in a manner for me to be uncertain how to put it back together. It is for this clumsy reason alone I need to re-buy it all the time. Now I have this awesome pen not working because it confounds me how to put it together.

It is a cute idea, but i wish it was a bit brighter, just an idea.

The light turns on when any pressure is placed on the button. So be prepared to replace the batteries frequently.
