This penlight came in a blister pack, with two AAA alkaline batteries.
Mine came from a Auto Parts Store and was $5.88 before tax
Eveready did not have a picture on their website, I found this link with a picture.

In round numbers it is 5 1/2" long and 1/2" in diameter.
Mine is aluminum, with a nice wide sturdy pocket clip.
I simple used the easy open on the back of package using fingers only, removed light and batteries, unscrewed top of light, removed plastic sleeve inside light, installed batteries and it worked.
Top of light has a large push button on-off switch, flat on top, smooth operation- just like a retractable ball pen. In fact that is what it looks like in a pocket, even sitting on a desk - a pen.
Quite bright, handy, easy to carry. I have had in shirt pocket, outer shirt pocket, side pocket of truck, ashtray of truck, sun visor, back pack, clipped to a book in backpack and it is just as handy and easy to use as the similar penlight, not LED.
So far it has been quite tough.
I took it shooting, and this was just one use I had in mind when I saw it.
I wanted to check out a simple, inexpensive , "tool in the toolbox" that did not have any "perception" of being firearm, or defensive use.
I replicated power being out and having to leave during a fire drill, or evade danger. In my truck reading a map, and other uses such as checking in my toolbox, under the hood, my tires...
Being in a low light, no light environment , indoors or outdoors, just to see better and also in evading and also with using a CCW.
Using the light itself as a defensive tool.
Quite tough.
Before LED became the norm, I and others kept the penlight handy, in fact I still have one in my truck.
Ray-O-Vac and Eveready both still make this one:

These also come with batteries and ready to go.
I hang around some folks, including ladies and kids. Kids cannot take a knife to school.
While they do have Inova Key ring lights, and we like the AA Maglight, and some kids have these, and the candle feature is real nice, like when power goes out, this penlight fits a niche.
For office and school, it does not look like a Mag-Light so maybe it won't get noticed or stolen.
Not being "fancy" , or "expensive" it might be less prone to being "lost" or "borrowed and not returned".
It for sure does not scream anything, except being inexpensive and maybe remind folks of going to the doctor and having to open mouth and say "ahh".
A couple of ladies bought this same light, and one was bought as a "guinea pig". Auto Parts store and I forget where one got hers, perhaps Academy Sports.
Just like we have with the regular pen light, Bic disposable ink pens, nicer ink pens, Number 2 pencils...
This LED will put the hurt on if used defensively.
Light still worked after punched into drywall, a pumpkin , and being dropped and kicked across a asphalt parking lot.
$6 , another tool in the tool box, does not draw attention, and one can get AAA batteries anywhere.
