It's the holiday season... and manufacturers are busy handing out gifts and/or promotions... went to my local flashlight dealer and receive a free gift with purchase... Olight Pen.
Have a look...
it comes in a transparent case
Is it a Pen? Is it a Stylus? Is it a Light?
the Pen is secured with a plastic holder
this plastic disc is to prevent accidental switch activation. remove before use. was advised to keep the disc and reinsert to prevent accidental switch activation during carry... errr... that's not gonna happen... coz I throw the disc into dustbin upon removal...
removing the cap reveal a ball-point pen, black ink. the tip of the cap has a soft rubber/silicone function as a stylus.
testing the smoothness... pretty decent...
testing the light... no greenish tint (yay!) pure white... not very bright tho... but hey, we don't need a hundred lumens to see what we are writing either... btw, it's single mode...
compare the brightness and tint to Lumintop IYP365 (low mode), Olight Pen is definitely brighter.
It's power by 3 x L736 (AG3 or LR41), don't see any driver, likely direct driven. My issue with this Pen is the switch is easily press on and once we capped the pen, there is no way to tell if the light is on or off, so... I did the following...
and problem solved!
if I'm worry about leaving a hole might dry-up the ink faster, I'll add a dab of clear silicone sealant to cover the hole, but since I'm not, I'm leaving it uncover...
