CAVN Reusable Medical Penlight Doctors Reviews Summary

Build Quality

Pros:

• "I really like the heaviness of these pen lights as they feel more durable than the ones made of plastic."
• "The pen casing is metal, the batteries doesn't move inside like my old lightpen."
• "Pretty durable/sturdy after a couple of falls."
• "The whole thing is sturdy."
• "These pen torches feel durable and sturdy and it is a great price for a good product."
• "They are very durable and made with quality products."
• "These are good quality for the price - they don't feel cheap or flimsy - have a decent weight to them and work well for nursing."

Cons:

• "Only one of my pen lights work, and the batteries are stuck inside."
• "These are cheaply made lights."
• "The case is made of cheap aluminum, which is fine, but the threads on the parts that screw together or rough and easy to thread wrong."
• "Brought them for my woman, yes female Nurse works nights at hospital where people bump into you, as conditions are hard core. The one light already broke the first night of work, broke in her pocket, had bits of glass that impaled her finger tips, making it difficult to work the next 2 nights."
• "These penlights are horrible! Both of the lights dont work at all. Not even in the dark. Bought to use in nursing, but both will end up in the trash."
• "Fell apart in my pocket and nurse bag often. The battery compartment and light bulb would not stay secure."
• "The first pack I got didn’t work."

Battery and Power

Pros:

• "It allows you to replace the batteries."
• "The battery is still going strong and so is the light!"
• "Otherwise they seem well made with long battery life."
• "The penlight's long-lasting battery life means I don't have to worry about frequent replacements."
• "It is also very good with battery life, I've accidentally left it on in my pocket for an unidentifiable amount of time and it's still running strong on the same battery to this day."
• "Battery life is great, even though I've found I've accidentally left it on for who knows how long."
• "I still haven't needed new batteries yet so it seems like it works well."

Cons:

• "They also turn on easily in my pocket or bag so the battery will run out quicker than it should."
• "This is worthless if you are actually in EMS services. The push button on/off at the top constantly accidentally turns itself on and drains the battery."
• "The battery requires almost bi-monthly changes, the light is very unreliable (sometimes flickering or just won't come on etc) and it causes me more suffering than good."
• "The on button tends to get pressed easily when rolling around in my work backpack, but it slides out of my flashlight pocket in my work pants so it tends to stay lit for days at a time and when i finally want to use it its half dead or dim from being on continuously."
• "I do have a hard time knowing if the light is clicked on or off so that does have a tendency to drain the battery."
• "It’s bright enough. My biggest concern is it’s so easy to turn it on that when I left it in my stethoscope case and I guess it got bumped around it turned it on and consumed all the battery."
• "Problem is that the button is easy to trigger so the light is on in my pocket organizer and dead when I need it."

Functionality

Pros:

• "Simple to open."
• "Easy to use, works appropriately."
• "I love the color and that they have a pupil measurement on the side for easy reference."
• "Because of the price it won't kill you if you lose them."
• "The light is sufficiently bright for eye exams."
• "They have a bright light, easy to use, and come in a variety of great colors!"
• "The simple push-button operation is user-friendly, allowing easy one-handed use."

Cons:

• "Purchased these pens because the marketing surely represented the idea that the pen had a light. I ordered this pen to have available to write in a dark room.. What good is it when it is only a light that looks like a pen? Total SCAM!"
• "Can not use these with patients. They are BRIGHT LED lights that really hurt your eyes."
• "Be aware, if you're purchasing this with the intention to assess patient's eyes, you risk burning a hole through their cornea."
• "I do not recommend for using on patients. it is excessively bright for patients, I dont recommend it for it's intended use. however you can use it as a flash light for other non-medical uses."
• "These may be too bright for checking pupils."
• "This penlight shouldn't be used for pupillary light reflex testing unless your goal is to temporarily blind your patients."
• "However for its intended function it does not work. It will literally blind the patient with its bright white led light."

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "I love the color and that they have a pupil measurement on the side for easy reference."
• "The colors are light and pretty; the penlight is light and easy to grasp; also the clip attached is a great idea."
• "Love the two colors to choose from to match the outfit for the day."
• "So cute. Variety of colors to match if you choose."
• "LOVE the color too!!"
• "Compact yet bright and pretty colors! I keep them in different places so I've always got one handy."
• "Love the rose gold penlight and that it comes with a backup penlight!"
