Lightning Rod Stun Pens

It's not everyday that a new product comes along that causes a buzz in the office. After all, they've seen it all, many of which we decide not to carry in our webstore. It doesn't seem that long ago that we reviewed the Streetwise LR800 Lightning Rod Stun Pen. What's a stun pen? Well, think of it as a mini sun baton. It's no bigger than those smallish halogen flashlights. It's about six inches long and just under an inch in diameter. It uses low drain LEDs and it's quite bright.

But of course, we're not Flashlight Supply, we're Stun Gun Supply so yes, it is also a stun gun. You take off the tip cover, turn the switch to stun and with a push of a button you've got 800,000 volts of stopping power. It's powered by two CR123A batteries that are included.

We were pretty impressed because, first, your assailant won't suspect that flashlight is really a personal defense weapon. Secondly, it's got a slim new shape, one you could store almost anywhere. We liked it and still do. Sales have been brisk since it's introduction.

Now we're all buzzing again because Streetwise has sent us the latest Lightning Rod model, the LR1200 stun pen. This one is even stronger than the LR800 and is rechargeable. That does away with battery replacements. Those lithium type batteries, though very long lasting, can be somewhat pricey to replace. No such worries with the LR1200R.

Do we love this one? Yep! It's cute as a bug and so easy to hold and maneuver in the hand. It's got a lot going for it and we're recommending it to the undecided customers who want something new and different.
