Product Description
Finally, a high-quality writing instrument that illuminates where you write. The Pilot's Pen, originally sold to the aviation industry, is the world's first LED pen that illuminates where you write and uses a single, common AAA cell. The pen comes packaged with a spare AAA battery and ink cartridge (one blue and one black ink). The Pen's powerful LEDs are rated at 100,000 hours of life and a battery will provide at least 20 hours of illumination. The pen's body is made from black anodized aluminum for durability and has a series of ridges built-in for better control when writing. Operation is easy - press the top button to turn illumination on or off and rotate the top cap to retract or extend the pen's ink cartridge tip. Included in the gift box is a spare red and green transparent tip for use by pilots and aviation users seeking to preserve their night vision while using the Pen. It's safe to carry in shirt pockets and easy to use anywhere or anytime - day or night. Thousands in use worldwide by aviation professionals, US Special Forces, Army Rangers, NATO, first responders, academics, creative arts professionals, night shift workers, hobbiests and many more satisfied users. Lifetime Guarantee - if it ever fails to work, we'll replace it (battery and ink not covered, of course). Makes a great gift.

My first impression is that this pen/led has avoided the pitfalls that have ruined similar products.
1. The led light is super bright and doesn't appear to rely on the ink cartridge to carry the electrical charge.
2. The ability to turn on and off the led light is independent from the pen.
3. The pen is retractable and the ink is easily replaceable.
4. It uses the widely available AAA battery - a few of which you probably have a few sitting around the house.
5. The metal clip is well made and surprisingly compact.
6. The footprint of the pen is also compact.
If you are looking for a pen/led combo, I highly recommend this one.

Okay, I'm gushing on this product. No I am in no way connected with the sales of this. You can check on my bio if you wish. I review products I am downright enthusiastic about. This pen is one I am downright nuts over. Why? I am a mobile executive-writer-idea person. The app for me is not connected to flying but writing various dimly lit environments. I coach many similarly minded people. This piece of equipment is worth crowing about.
1. It just plain works. In a day of under-performing when something comes along that meets a high felt need it is worth getting on the soap box and crowing. This one has me extending my credibility over.
2. It is bright but not blindingly bright. I use it in lots of environments that are dimly lit - it is 'Just right' as Golidlocks stated so well.
3. It feels great - writes well.
4. It comes with two refills (which is plenty of ink to last me for a while about enough ink - I'm probably in good shape with this thing unless I decide to write my next book by hand and entirely in dim lighting!)
5. It is sustainable. There are plenty of cool-looking pens out there under the 'fancy schmancy' heading. The catch however is the battery must be replaced sooner than later. All of those batteries I've been into are relatively costly and difficult to find. Over a couple of years of usage the previously 'Cool' pen becomes a pain in the tail. Before buying another light up pen / your next light up pen, ponder your inevitable trek to the mall to a 'Batteries R Us' kind of kiosk. Do you really want the pain and hassle of that rigamarole? It's not for me. I would rather write, get ideas than feed the pen's hunger for obscure batteries.
This pen takes AAA batteries you already have in abundance in your office or home!
If you are an idea person like me who gets thoughts at various times and places and must capture them whenever and however those ideas fly your way - this pen is the best one on the market. I use a laptop continually, but ideas are like manna - they come as provision for my concept jigsaw puzzle. I can't fire up my laptop when I'm watching a film, concert, listening to someone chat on a plane on a dimly lit flight. Such a pen is invaluable.
I have a couple of them. I've given a few away a couple. If it were slightly less in price I would show care to others by giving this away regularly I suspect.

This pilot's pen is fantastic: I'm an academic and I grade exams, proof-read my own writing or mark up books and articles wherever I go. This pen has a great feel, writes well, and most importantly, it provides that extra light when I need it - - on airplanes, in the car, at the doctor's office in the waiting room, and everywhere else. This pen beats any of the high-priced name brand pens I have on my desk. I also bought the pilot's pen as a gift for my 75-year old father who uses it every day for crossword puzzles and sudoku. He just loves that pen and he tells everyone proudly that he is using a pilot's pen. It's so hard to buy a gift for him and for not even $20 I found something that he uses every day and that makes his favorite pastime easier to see. Moreover, the battery and the ink last forever. Both my dad and I have been using the pen daily for over six months now and we're still on the original battery and ink. Two thumbs up for this great pen! Buy more than one!
