Summary: Pen light
Comment: I found this pen light to be very useful when working in a dark room and having to take notes. The soft green light provided ample light to write and read without being a distraction to others. The light is turned on/off by rotating a well-designed rubberized switch which also acts as the finger grip for writing. Two watch type batteries provide power and are easily accessible to replace. Ergonomically, the pen feels a bit over-sized and the ballpoint writes adequately - could be better. The only real negative I found was the clear plastic cap which is used to cover the ball point and act as a pocket holder. This cap is designed to fit on the opposite end when the pen is in use, however the cap doesn't fit snugly and can be easily lost. Other than that I thought the price of the pen was very reasonable (cheap~$4); however, s/h was three times that of the pen!

Summary: It is okay
Comment: I like the pen, but the color doesn't help me see in the dark. The green light is hard to see as I can not see close up. Maybe for someone else it would be okay. I am going to see if they have one with a white light.

Summary: Nice glow for a pen.
Comment: I do like this pen. It has 2 button cell batteries that produce a nice green glow. Things that could improve this pen would be to allow the clear cap to stick better to the butt end of the pen when writing. I find that the cap slips off when I am writing and it's difficult to find when dropped because it's clear. (So, now I just remove the cap when I'm using and place it somewhere I can find it.) Also, this pen has regular black ink, I would prefer the space pen type ink that can write at any angle. A note to future pen owners, you can access the ink and batteries from the same place at the butt end of the pen. Opening the light end of the pen can be tricky because of the springs in the barrell which turn the light on and off. The replacement ink cartridge is just the standard kind in a lot of freebie type pens, I do not believe a space type or parker type refill would fit, due to the way the pen is lighted in the inside. Overall though, I like having this lighted pen and keep it by my bedside table.

Summary: Great pen, exactly what I needed
Comment: Not only is the price great with free shipping, but this pen is exactly what I needed. A pen that you can write with in the dark. Other pens are either too expensive or have too much of a light, this have a soft green light that allows you to make quick notes at night. The light is turned on by twisting the round thing above the ballpoint not by pressing the top tip as I had thought.

Summary: Sleep in peace
Comment: So I lay down at night and all of a sudden I remember everything I forgot during the day. Then I stay awake thinking, "I need to remember this tomorrow...I should get up and write it down, but then I'd have to get out of bed and turn on the light..." and so on. My husband saw this and bought it for me and I LOVE IT! I keep it on my night stand next to a little notebook and when things pop into my head, I grab my pen, turn on the light, write it down and sleep in peace! The pen itself is average, but the light is a perfect brightness of green.
