LED light

[Jeremiah McCarthy]

Stanley Supply and Services, formerly Jenson Tools, sells a real nice LED penlight called "Stylus Hi-Intensity" LED penlight...I have one and would hate to be without it...It can be turned on momentarily with a push button, or full on with a twist of the barrel...It uses 3 AAAA (yes, 4 "A's") cells...Well built of brass, it even carries a serial number...Not cheap, about 20 bucks and comes in 3 LED colors, white, blue, and red...Mine is white...The usual disclaimers apply...

The LED light in the KX1 is red, and will not allow you to read color
codes. That is not its purpose. 73 de Alex NS6Y

I thought they were all white. Mine is. I slip a piece of red acetate
between the LED and case sometimes, but the LED itself is white.

OK maybe I goofed, I thought it was red to prevent destroying night
vision. 73 de Alex nS6y

I am talking about an LED breast pocket flashlight, not the LED built into
the KX1...Unless Elecraft has made a change since last week, the LED in the
KX1 is white, not red and is intended for log keeping in the dark away from
the QTH...

The LED penlight is listed on page 456 in Stanley Supply's catalog and
comes in 2 body colors, black or gold...It is available in 3 LED colors,
white, blue, or red...Mine is white and it's part number is 434-018 priced
at $19.95...When it is shined on installed capacitors and resistors in the
radio, the numbers and colors fly out at you...
