ITEM #JL DROP LIGHT: A SOLUTION TO YOUR INNER PEN INSPECTION VISUAL NEEDS.

It uses (2) size AA batteries that are easily found.

To prevent your view of the inside of your pen barrel or cap from being obscurred, the diameter of the LED (0.158" diameter) and the lead cable (0.109" diameter) have been held to a minimum in this design. Developed by that noted electrical engineer in the pen collecting community, Jim Leonard - thus the item # 'JL'.

ITEM #LOUPE NECK CHAIN: 36" GOLD FINISHED STRONG STEEL CHAIN  to go around your neck and hold your loupe right at hand's reach right where you can find it. The 36" length allows adequate range to freely reach your eyes and the piece you want to look at. I get asked for these all the time and I couldn't find any srong enough, long enough, good looking enough and with a bug enough connecting mechanism to fit the attachment point on most loupes. So I made these myself. I'm 6' tall and when I put this on, it hangs the loupe about 2" below my navel, so it seems just the right length for this application. It doesn't get tangled with what I'm handling and it's just the right length to reach my eye. Has .47" (12mm) split ring for attaching your loupe.
