pen flashlight

when we were on vacation my mother and brother bought a pen light.
I thought it was enourmously cool but I didnt have the money.
So I made one from spare parts I found around the house.

This is my first instructable so please say what I can improve.

yeah but i hadall the stuff lying around so it was cheap

[chicks dig me]

i suppose your right,really cool instructable

I don't know put did I miss something? Is this a writing pen? If so where is the refill (ink)? I have seen commercial ones in catalogs that write! If you could squeeze in a refill it would allow writing in dark situations. Maybe someone can do an upgrade? I certainly would like to see one submitted! The mail order catalog (Sharper Image ?) ones are expensive for a luxury item ($20. plus the almost one-third shipping costs!!!) I don't even know if these are still available. It was an old catalog. I will try and see if they have a catalog on the web. Thanks. Keep Instructabling. Triumphman.

you just republished it, that isnt allowed if u wanna be in the led contest, u have to make modifications.

[dunnos]

by the way if 1 or 2 mods are not enough can i still do it or do i have to republish all over again

[gamer]

look, its the same exact pictures, and you didnt modify the actual progect, u just added a sentence. that isnt fair, cause i have another led instructable, and im not gonna go and add a sentence in it and republish it for a contest. people wouldnt find that fair.

[dunnos]

ok what about i over-do the whole instructable but keep the pics i figured some modifications but i dont have the stuff to build another 1

[gamer]

you would have to do an add on, or maybe an inprovement, do something so that itll be differemt

[dunnos]

there i have added a video is it good now?

[Mintyhippo]

I made one for the contest, look.

[dunnos]
