Could be better designed November 11, 2008

First, I'm happy to see a product made in the USA. However, the pen is pretty bulky because of the 2 AAA batteries it contains, and the very short ink refill doesn't hold as much ink as a regular pen (an extra refill is included). But do you need a lighted pen to do a lot of writing? Probably not, so a small refill is probably ok for most people.
The incandescent bulb is actually brighter than it needs to be--it shines in all directions when all I need is a little light shining directly on the page so I can see what I'm writing. I don't need the whole page to be lit! A little LED lamp would be plenty, and only takes a tiny battery to operate.
In short, it does the job, but it's a bit clunky and for my uses, too bright.
 Great pen September 18, 2007

This pen is great for writing in the dark. As noted by the 2nd reviewer, putting the cap over the non-writing end keeps the light on. I've tried other pens that did not work as well.

The previous reviewer must have lost her pocket-clip pen cap. Looking at the image above you will see that the black button is somewhat far from the writing tip. This is for a reason--the designers made it so the accompanying cap, when placed onto the back of the pen, will hold down the button for your light output. If one does lose the cap a fat rubber band or other can be wrapped around to hold the button in when in use.
I bought several of these pens for my aging parents and they both love them!
I cannot give this item 5 stars because the supplied ink reservoir is very small--not standard length--and will run dry rather quickly if/when one uses this pen frequently.
 Doesn't work as advertised. Useless! February 21, 2007

I need a pen that writes in the dark, after several failed purchases, I was excited to finally find a pen that actually writes in the dark. When I received it the first thing you notice is how big, ugly and industrial/medical looking the pen is. Beyond that, the pen lights up all right, but you have to hold down the heavy button for the light to work. You don't just turn it on and start writing. To make this even more unusable the button is located at the top of the pen and not at the bottom. So in order to write with the light on, you have to hold the pen at the top and keep your hand pressed on the heavy to push button. Making it virtually useless. My hunt for a pen that writes in the dark continues, but I won't be making any more "blind" purchases from Amazon.
