UPDATE 9/25/2026: ANNOUNCING OUR TOTALLY REDESIGNED APOLLO PENLIGHTS! Sign up for email alerts for when these will be available.
These penlights are RAW BRASS, and will ALL have some tarnish on them out of the box. This is natural and you can easily polish them to a bright shine with any brass polish in seconds, or leave them as-is for their natural look. (Returns for tarnished brass will not be accepted)
Totally new production in 2026, designed from the ground up from original Apollo-era flashlights. Complete your Apollo flight gear collection with this fully functional replica of the Apollo Penlight. Originally made by the ACR Electronics Company as the FA-5, our FA-6 penlight is custom made by Luna Replicas and Orbital Surplus to replicate these lights as closely as possible: inside and out! We have improved the design only to slightly thicken the brass on the walls and end of the battery tube, and the outer wall of the light head, to allow the penlight to be more resilient to everyday use & the possibility of dropping in Earth's gravity (rather than 1/6 gravity on the Moon!). Internally, these are exactly the same, and parts-interchangeable with original ACR FA-5 lights.
The previously discontinued Barbolight version of the penlight was externally similar to the original Apollo lights, but internally different. This design decision by Barbolight helped them be more waterproof, but sacrificed the elegant original internal design of the FA-5
Just as designed for Apollo, our penlights are a functional, slender design, easily stowed in your Inflight Coveralls, A7L spacesuit, or in a pocket for everyday carry (EDC).

These are authentically marked and individually serial numbered.
NOTE: These are uncoated RAW BRASS. They will tarnish with age and handling, which is natural (and completely authentic, believe us we have an original from the Apollo program). Some may come slightly tarnished in the box from storage, but they can easily be polished, or left alone and used without issue.
