I guess what I'm really trying to say is, if you need a "pen light", these have decent build quality and you can't beat the price. If you need a flashlight, buy a flashlight. Even a $10-$12 rechargable flashlight that is thicker and half the length can be found easily and has far more uses for the average person.
I feel like everything I'm pointing out should be common sense but the entire reason I'm putting this comment out there is because I grabbed these pen lights as a buy-now, think-later purchase because of the price but quickly realized that it wasn't at all what I really needed to use day to day. I'm not down voting the deal or trashing the product. Again, it is a solid deal. I'm just pointing out that I wasted $8 because I didn't buy what I actually needed in a product and hope to stop someone else from doing the same.
You specifically tell others why to avoid this product. You listed many negatives which aren't negatives at all, they're the intended purpose of these style of lights. You specifically tell others why they should avoid this product.
You didn't know what a pen light was and bought one expecting it to be a "regular" flashlight. That's on you.
I used to live in Savannah. I definitely don't recommend it long-term.

Its literally the exact same model pen light, from the same factory. I bought a handful of these from walmart and dispersed them to my cars, bugout bags, and whatnot as a backup light source.
Beyond that, stating that a pen light is a specific-use-case tool that is, "supposed to be low output for close up inspection" is kind of a leap. It's a flashlight that was made very small to be convenient to wear/transport and fit in tight places. Some pen lights are very bright. Some are very dull. It's just the form factor that is limiting to the output. Respectfully, to come out and say that pen lights are, "specifically" made for those parameters simply doesn't make any logical sense.
I work as a mechanic building Gulfstream jet wings. I have to do extremely precise drilling, installations, inspections, and repairs in some of the smallest places you can think of. When a wing is assembled and I'm inside it, I've used tons of light sources over the years to be able to get the best view of what I'm working on. Some light sources are better than others for certain jobs. One thing I've never, ever said in any low-light situation (at work or personal life) was that a light was too bright to be able to see what I'm working on. Nobody is comparing these to a handheld spotlight. They make different sized flashlights because the smaller you go, the more portable and easy access they are and the bigger you go, the more light output you can achieve. Light output is often going to be the trade-off when the size of the light source is made very small and compact.
I'm not trying to argue at all. I just don't really understand what necessitated any implied correction to what I had already noted. Especially when that implied message is just nonsensical. No offense.
I was just pointing out obvious things based on my impulse buy. I wasn't looking to have a formal discussion on what constitutes the most correct, specific uses of the pen light as a light emitting tool. It's just a light... In the convenient form factor of a pen... There is no mystery to be solved and no deeper understanding to be found here lol

Every time I see one fly directly over, it blows my mind.

It has to be bright. Working on a project…an art project though nothing crazy… to avenge my father's death. NBD. I just need the power of the sun in the palm of my hands.

Not to mention your two examples are branded differently, therefore are "literally" different models
Now, not knocking your Walmart link and that is a solid comparison to what *appears* to be functionally (not literally) similar to indistinguishable from the other

I have absolutely never seen a penlight that was rechargeable. I haven't even seen any that have replaceable batteries. FYI usually they get lost before the battery dies.
Anyway I agree that a penlight has a very specific well defined definition.
