Rayovac 1AAA LED Pocket Flashlight (color may vary)

I had been looking for a good, small LED penlight for some time but had a problem or problems with each one I tried. That is, until I ran into the Rayovac BRSLEDPEN-BA. This penlight is really excellent with a really good design, great white light output and good battery life. As to the design, I will point out that the threads for disassembly (to change the battery), are very large, making it easy to reassemble without cross threading. On every other light I tried out, the threads were very small which is common. However cross threading when reassembling is very likely unless it is done in good light and very very carefully. Once cross threaded, the plastic can't be fixed and the assembly is weakened. If this is done a couple of times, the light might as well be pitched out as it can't be fixed. As to the light output, it is quite good for 3 lumen specs and the beam is round, with a clearly defined boundary. I have gotten useful light with this little penlight outdoors at night; it won't blast the darkness away like the bigger and heavier models, but will provide enough light for walking safely, and seeing much more than could be seen without the light. Finally, it is well made and should last a long time with reasonable care. Many lights use a rear clicking switch for on/off, but all of the ones I've used fail or become unreliable in time, except this one which has a strong click and requires a definite push to activate it; you know for sure it is operating correctly and can't come on accidentally when packed. A really nice touch is the rubberized "grip" just below the bottom of the pocket clip which will aid in keeping the light in your wet or greasy hand. I have used mine extensively with no problems or failures. Highly recommended.

Easy to use. Just like an ink pen. Bright light. Perfect to keep in wife's purse or in her pocket at work as a nurse. Not bulky and easy to hold in your hand. Perfect. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
