It's not everyday that a new product comes along that causes a buzz in the office. After all, our staff has seen it all, including many demonstration models we decide not to carry in our webstore, Stun Gun Supply. It doesn't seem that long ago that we reviewed the Streetwise LR800 Lightning Rod Stun Pen [http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/lightning-rod-stun-pen-with-flashlight.html]. What's a stun pen? Well, think of it as a mini stun baton. It's no bigger than those small halogen flashlights. It measures about six inches long and just under an inch in diameter. The light is provided by low drain LEDs and they're 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 lithium CR123A batteries that are included. Also included is a belt holster.

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 can store almost anywhere like in a pocket or purse. 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 [http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/lightening-rod-lr1200r.html]. 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 already recommending it to the undecided customers who want something new and different.
