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.
Mighty little light December 30, 2008 Bojan Tunguz (Greencastle, IN USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I read a lot, often in unusually/unconventional places and getting an adequate amount of light for me is always an issue. Mighty Bright book light resolves most of my problems, as it is both a convenient an inexpensive way of obtaining more light wherever I end up reading. The two LED light bulbs provide enough light and are quite adequate for even the darkest room. The switch button is conveniently located at the top of the light where it can be easily reached. It can be turned on by a slightest touch, which means that you don't have to readjust the book light's position each time you turn it on or off. One can use the same switch to switch between using one or both of the light bulbs. The neck for this book light is sturdy yet very flexible and adjustable. It can be positioned in a virtually infinite number of configurations. The base at a first sight seemed bulky, but after using it for a while it turned out to be unobtrusive. It uses three AAA batteries and because of its size it can double as a stand when one is positioning the light on a flat surface. The clip can be used to attach this light to a book of almost any size. Overall, this is a vary useful and well designed product. It sets a standard for book lights.
