 PERFECT LIGHT January 6, 2009
Gary S. Rickles (Charleston, SC USA)
What can I say. The light is perfect and suits my needs. Good price and seems to be of high quality for this sort of item. Actually I purchased it as a gift for my friend along with the Kindle. The Kindle is out of stock and wont be shipped until March, but the light was shipped. Currently it is being used with other paperback and hard cover books. I certainly recommend it to anyone needing a light while reading.
Love this light! January 4, 2009
J. L. Pribble (DFW, Texas)
This light has been such a wonderful help! Before, my husband had to try to sleep with my bedside light turned on so that I could read. Now, I use this light. It easily clips to the back cover and doesn't push the kindle too far forward. I love that there are two settings - really bright and a little dimmer. The flexible neck allows me to move the light whereever I need it. The light is easily adjusted so that there is no glare on the screen at all. Very powerful. Stays in place well. The only draw back is that the clip leaves a crimp mark on the leather cover. Maybe a small piece of cloth between the clip and the outer cover could prevent this.
 Flaky switch, design issues January 2, 2009
Susan (Kentucky)
I've only had this for a couple of months and used it less than a dozen times. The switch sometimes doesn't work. I have to take a battery out to get the light to go off. The placement of the switch is poor too. It's too easy to turn it on accidentally if I'm carrying it in a purse or backpack.

Excellent product. Works as advertised. Provides nice, clear, nonglare lighting of book page or of Kindle screen.
Aptly named, good reading light December 31, 2008
Mark Hunsaker (Chicago, IL)
I bought this light for my daughter, who I frequently catch with a book and a flashlight under her covers after bed time. I tried it out myself (in the dark) and can report that it has a lot of good attributes that are perfect for light-assisted reading.
- It is light-weight, but does not feel fragile.
- The batteries are common and are easy to change.
- The spring clamp holds tightly to a group of pages. It doesn't fall off or slide when turned upside-down.
- The wire neck also holds its position perfectly. It's very easy to adjust and stays precisely in place.
- The two-setting light is bright (on both settings) and a clean white color.
My two suggestions for improvement would be, first, to have a third LED in the head that is not a super LED and would put out less light. My eyes can adapt very well to the dark and both of the current settings are more than enough. And second, to increase the lever portion of the spring clamp a little so it is easier to de-clamp from the book. It has an odd feel since the lever end is almost right over the hinge/fulcrum.
Neither of these things are enough to detract from the fact that this is an excellent product and deserves a five star rating.
