Jan asked the other day if there was a kit out there that had a pen and LED flashlight combined. The only kit I could think of was the PSI flashlight kit that you could use as a starting point and add a twist pen to the bottom.This would require you to switch the AAAs out for Watch batteries and you wouldn't have LEDs. Here is a much easier way to do this for now, until I have more time to work out the problems of an all in one pen. The pen is my desk pen and you have seen it before, so I won't go in to detail on it. The light sorce is from a Tool Shop 14 piece Precision Screwdriver. I got mine at Menard's building center free as a birthday gift. They only sell for a couple bucks. It has 3 LEDs, a 3 pole slip ring switch, that also serves as the base. The ring slips unto the pen, makes up the three points of contact, and the lights come on. Not rocket science, but the best I could come up with on short notice. I will mate the PSI flashlight and twist pen when I have a little more time. It's not going to win the most beautiful pen contest, but you have to admit it's cute. C&C welcome always. You can't hurt my ego or feelings any more then they have been before. Jim S
