 Durable, handy, and very bright Sep 10, 2008
By Matthew K. Morgan
I got one of these LED lights last year. At the time I primarily used normal flashlights with big, D-cell batteries, and I was skeptical that this little light with its pair of AA batteries would meet the need. I was shocked at how amazingly good this LED light is!
It is far lighter (weight-wise) than my other flashlights, as it is quite a bit smaller and as mentioned above uses smaller batteries. It easily fits in my pocket so I take it with me everywhere and use it all of the time. For convenience it is hard to beat.
When I first turned this light on I was greatly surprised at how bright it is. I have one other LED flashlight, and it has 7 LEDs and 4 batteries. That other flashlight does not put out quite as much light as this one does.
I own only one flashlight that is brighter than the Energizer LED Pen Light, and it's a large Mag flashlight. It's a lot heavier and it uses 3 D-cell batteries. It is about the size of a billy club, and it puts out more light. That said, it eats batteries a lot faster and it's more bulky. Convenience is not it's primary strength.
I have been very happy with this LED light and I can heartily recommend it. I have yet to see one that is brighter, and after a year of use and abuse it is still just as bright on the original batteries as it was when I got it.

 Much better than the Dorcy LED pen light - though hardly perfect May 21, 2010
By NLee the Engineer
I own both the Energizer Aluminum Pen LED Flashlight (PLED23AE) and the Dorcy 41-1218 2AAA 5MM LED Pen Light. The following is my side-by-side comparison.
In terms of mechanical construction, the Energizer and Dorcy pen lights are very similar. They are both approximately 5.5" long by 0.5" diameter. Their tail caps and on/off switches both have the same flimsy feeling (I have no problems with either version). But they are very different when it comes to LED brightness.
When powered by two fresh alkaline AAA cells (2x 1.6V), the Energizer pen light generates a wide, powerful beam (considering its small size). The Dorcy pen light is not as bright, but at least it is still useable for indoor illumination. However, the biggest difference is when powered by two rechargeable NiMH cells (2x 1.25V). The light output of Energizer drops to about 50%, while the Dorcy becomes so dim that it is basically useless. (See my Customer Images for brightness comparisons).
The reason becomes clear when I disassembled both pen lights. The Energizer contains a power module to boost lower battery voltage to drive its LED. That's why it can continue to shine even when the combined battery voltage falls to 1V. The Dorcy, on the other hand, has no power regulator at all. Its LED is driven directly by the two AAA cells, and so the current is very sensitive to battery voltage. At 3.1-3.2V (two fresh alkaline cells), the LED current is around 30mA, so its light is acceptable. When the battery voltage decreases to 2.6V, the LED current drops to only 2mA, and its light is barely visible.
This is not to say that the Energizer pen light is perfect. One problem is that its power consumption is not well regulated. At 3V battery voltage, its input power is about 360mW. But at 2.5V its power drops to just 180mW. That explains why when using NiMH cells, the light is only half as bright as when using fresh alkaline cells. In contrast, the Rayovac BRSLEDPEN-B LED Pen Light is able to maintain the same brightness between alkaline and NiMH cells.
On the package of the Energizer pen light it claims "Super bright LED" and "Over 100-hour run time". This is very misleading, because it is physically impossible to power a "Super bright" LED for 100 hours using just 2 AAA cells. The LED may burn brightly in the beginning when the batteries are fresh. But as the battery voltage drops lower, the power consumption (and hence brightness) drops quickly. So only the first 10-20 hour may be marginally called 'Super Bright'. Nevertheless, this is still much better than the traditional incandescent pen light (which can hardly sustain 2 hours of useable light), so I should not complain too much.

Cheap and Effective May 28, 2009
By -TMcN-
I like small flashlights. And especially pen lights, for accessorizing costumes (e.g. as a mad doctor.) Non-LED lights tend to rip through their batteries quickly. And the trouble with most LED lights is that they're either very expensive or they use non-standard batteries. I wanted something that uses regular batteries.
The Energizer LED pen light uses AAA batteries and puts out a decent amount of light. It's pretty cheaply made - a thin aluminum cylinder, a slightly-flakey black toggle button on the end and a very bright LED on the other. No lens for the LED, but it doesn't really seem to need one. It can be pretty easily dented too; this isn't a MagLight. But for the price, it's a deal.

 Switch will break Apr 29, 2011
By try/star
I advise buying the Streamlight Stylus Pro, sold on Amazon for about $8 more. I bought the energizers for my Dad, who uses them every single day (or night, actually), so he's a great tester of these. The Energizer has an aluminium body but the switch is plastic covered with a thin metal sheath. My Dad kept asking me to buy more of these for him every year or two. I thought he was giving them as gifts, but it's because they always end up breaking. Other reviews here say the same thing about the switch.
The Streamlight Stylus Pro is all aluminium and comes in several neat colors. It has a better switch. It also has a better quality led light with a more regulated beam. Most important, the Streamlight has a limited, lifetime warranty. So pay a bit more now and get the one that will last years and years, not the Energizer, that will break in 18 to 24 months.

penlight, penlight Apr 01, 2010
By Pen Name
I work in healthcare, and I use this light for shining into people's eyes, throats, and other orifices if need be. It's pretty heavy for a penlight of that purpose (the weight of two AAA batteries), but I thought the quality of the light was outstanding. I have dropped it many many times, as I keep it in my upper jacket pocket and when I lean over, it sometimes falls out (as does my pen). It was extremely reliable for two years of use. Towards the end of its life, it has been difficult to turn on probably because the batteries are dead, but when I opened it up to change them, the springs all broke loose and the plastic coverings broke and so I can't close the darn thing up. So the outer shell I think is pretty decent, but the inside can fall apart easily. If I see this light again at Target (for less $$), I would definitely snatch it up again.
