I would say this LED pen will come in handy for writing in the dark or doubling as an emergency torch. The waterproof pen is like any other medium-point black ink pen except for the flashlight orb attached on a swivel head. Ever tried following written directions in the dark?

Two LEDs are built into the attached flash light orb. Each LED puts out 8,000 mcd of light, way more than a regular penlight. Since the lamps are LEDs, they will never need to be replaced.

The Writing Light runs about 40 hours on two 3V lithium batteries. It comes in blue and pink. The pen is 5.8 inches by 1.6 inches by 1.6 inches and retails for $9.95. Just a simple nice gadget for anyone who always go for camping or maybe outdoor activities.
