NEOGLO FLASHLIGHT/LASER POINTER

NeoGlo "Keychain Lite & Laser Pointer" , retail $7 (www.teamprod.com...)

Last updated 11-14-04




This NeoGlo product consists of a keychain laser pointer and a keychain LED flashlight in one handy-dandy device.

It has a red diode laser pointer and white LED in its business-end, and uses three LR44 button cells in the barrel to power those light sources.

Two rubberised momentary pushbutton switches on the barrel turn the laser and/or LED on and off. The entire device comes in what I believe is an aluminum body.


SIZE



This device comes with the batteries already installed, so it's ready to go right away.

Press and hold in the frontmost button to turn the laser pointer on; release the button to turn it off.
Press and hold in the rearmost button to turn the white LED on; release the button to turn it off.

You can press both buttons at once to get both the laser and LED to come on together; but the laser will be noticeable dimmer this way.



To change the batteries in this device, unscrew and remove the tailcap, and set it aside.

Tip the three used LR44 cells out of the barrel and into your hand, and dispose of or recycle them as you see fit.

Stack three new LR44 button cells on a table, counter, or other flat surface; button-end (-) negative facing up. Lower the barrel of the NeoGlo unit over the cells, and slide it to the edge. As you slide it over the edge, place a thumb or finger over the end so those batteries don't just clatter to the floor.

Invert (flip over) the barrel and your finger or thumb together, and remove your finger or thumb from the barrel when the open end of the barrel is facing the ceiling or sky. Screw the tailcap back on, and be done with it.

Due to the way the device is constructed, I am not able to furnish you with current usage readings.



Since the NeoGlo laser pointer/flashlight uses a laser and I already know it's relatively delicate because of this, I'll forego beatings, drownings, and other abuse that might be meted out to other flashlights. So this section of the web page will appear more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight without a laser.

This device is not waterproof or submersible. When I removed the tailcap and then suctioned it, air had no problems whatsoever getting in. So please try not to drop it in creeks, rivers, ponds, lakes, oceansides, docksides, puddles of rat pee, slush piles, mud puddles, tubs, toilet bowls, cisterns, sinks, fishtanks, dog water dishes, or other places where water or water-like liquids might be found.

If it fell in water and you suspect it got flooded, disassemble it as you would for a battery change, dump out the water if necessary, and set the parts in a warm dry place for a day or so just to be sure it's completely dry inside before you reassemble and use it again.

If it fell into seawater or if somebody or something peed on it, douche all the parts out with fresh water before setting them out to dry. You don't want your laser pointer/flashlight to smell like seashells or piss when you go to use it next. Besides, salt (from seawater or wee-wee) can't be very good for the insides.

The white LED flashlight portion is somewhat dimmer than expected, but it's not useless by any means!!!

The red laser pointer portion has power output and wavelength values within its labelling. It is labelled as being a CDRH Class IIIA device, emitting less than 5mW of laser radiation at 650nm (give or take 10nm). It appears to operate well within these parameters.
