Editorial Review:

This unique pen has a small green LED tucked into its tip right next to a high quality medium ball point. Just give the top of the pen a twist, and you can see what you are entering in the log on those long dark nights without having to light up the whole cabin. Comes with a clear cap to help prevent leaving it turned on accidentally. Also allows you to clip it to your chart or pocket if you just need a small light to see by. Runs for hours on end using 2 LR44 1.5 volt batteries located in the top.

Customer Reviews:

As advertised

Beautifully built and works just fine. One recommendation is to buy LR44 replacement batteries on the internet rather than in a store. They are MUCH less expensive that way. The ball point refill looks like it would be easy to replace with a generic one.

Slow start to a great pen

After receiving the pen, I tried, without success, to get it to write. I took it apart and squezzed the ink catridge. After some ink leaked out of the base of the tip, the pen did begin to write.
Back together it has worked flawlessly. The light has made taking notes in a dark auditorium easy. The light is just bright enough to see with, but not enough to be an annnoyance to anyone sleeping during the lecture.

Silent Night

I've been though many night pens. I thought about designing one that does not have a loud click. This one is nearly silent - just what I need.
