The LightStar 80 is has proven to be one of our most popular lights and for good reason. This pen-shaped EDC flashlight is the number one choice for physicians, mechanics, technician, handymen, and police officers alike. The convenient and ergonomic design of pen-shaped LED flashlights has been around for years, but TerraLUX really hits the nail on the head with this model. From the LED quality, brightness, durability, and functionality, the LightStar 80 stands out as a premiere option in sea of pen-lights.
Pen Shaped lights are popular because they fit seamlessly into anyone's EDC collection. The slim body (0.625 inches in diameter) allows the LightStar 80 to slip comfortably into just about any pocket and the detachable pocket clip will make sure the LightStar 80 stays put when you're not using it. Keeping a light in your breast pocket allows for quick and easy access and is completely unobtrusive as it looks just like any other pen when tucked away. One of the most unique and useful features of the LightStar 80 is the rubberized "bite grip" located on the tail cap. This bite grip has been implemented for workers such as technicians, mechanics, repair men, anyone who needs hands-free illumination in a moment's notice - far more convenient and quicker than wearing a headlamp, the bite grip allows for seamless and comfortable hands-free use.
The LightStar 80 is able to produce 80 lumens of light while running on two convenient, easily purchasable AAA batteries for 5 hours of continuous use. 80 lumens might not seem impressive, but for a pen-light it is quite bright, and you will find that 80 lumens is more than enough for most close up applications. But the real stand out feature of the LightStar 80's LED is the unmatched color rendering index (or CRI). TerraLUX listened to what workers need in order to do their job to the best of their ability - high CRI allows for super accurate color representation, ideal for electrical systems with multi colored wires: HVAC, telephone systems, computer hardware, and much more. Don't put up with cheep, flimsy, dim pen-lights that apply a blue-ish tint to everything - get the light made from aircraft grade aluminum, that's super bright, and designed to keep up, get the TerraLUX LightStar 80.

"I was disappoint to this product discontinued. I purchased one for ALL my vehicles and several for friends."
"I purchased 2 of these LightStar 80 lights, and when they work, they are Great. However one of the switches stopped working, and I contacted TeraLUX for warranty on the switch. They responded quick that they would replace the switch, but 2 weeks later I still have not received the switch."
"I bought 2 of these recently. The switch on one almost immediately quit working. I would have to unscrew the cap and then partially screw it back down to make the switch operate. This happened several times but suddenly stopped. Now the switch works every time. I like the light, otherwise. Great for sticking in my shirt pocket during these dark Winter days. At our Christmas Eve Candlelight service, the pastor had problems with a digital recorder while the church was dark. The little LightStar 80 saved the day (evening)!!"
"Several months ago, I purchased a pair of these lights for a great price. The second Sunday in February, we went offshore St. Augustine, 55 miles out into the Atlantic to the Gulf Stream. Great day fishing on the 31 ft center console, but we lost one engine on the way back in and were still 9 miles offshore when darkness set in. There was no spotlight on board and the only flashlight was my LightStar that I had thrown in my day pack! We safely navigated through the St. Augustine pass without moonlight and saw every buoy at least 75 yards away and the reflective buoys even further. Everyone was amazed at the size and brightness of this little light and it's ability to get through this tricky pass that takes boats onto it's shoals even during the daylight sometimes. I could have easily sold 5 of those lights that evening when we safely made it to the dock. I carry this light daily for medical exams and highly recommend this quality tool. Shane M."
"A really usable amount of light that is just right for most application. For every day needs around our house from looking under the bed to checking the engine bay of one of the cars. Good quality material and uses readily available batteries. I got mine at a super deal at about $10. . . really hard to beat at that price."
"I was a little worried about the lumen rating, but it was on sale for $10 at the time. I don't regret the purchase at all. When it's clamped between your teeth and your looking at something under the hood of your truck, it is more than bright enough. I really like how it runs on standard batteries as well. That may hurt the overall size of the unit, but for me that is an acceptable compromise."
"This is a very nice light for the money. The bitegrip is a nice feature. Much brighter than most penlights. Diameter a bit more than expected, though quite light weight. However, health care workers note, it is much too bright for checking pupil response."
"Ultra light and great color for crane maintenance. Fits perfectly in my front pocket with my pens. Bite grip is awesome for hand free use. Plenty bright enough for a penlight."
"I ordered three of these. One of the three had a much cooler tint to the beam than the others. I feel that the CRI will suffer as a result . The lights are solid feeling, if a bit large for the battery format."
"This lamp does as promised. If colorization of illuminated items is important, this is the 'Go-To' item. J"
