 The best book light January 29, 2008

I got two booklights for Christmas, and I prefer this one to the Great Point one. I like the feature on this one that allows me to select brightness (2 LEDs on vs. 1 LED on). The other light I got is all or nothing (2 LEDs or it's off). I use the light to read in my 3-yr-old's bedroom while she is falling asleep, so I'd rather deal with a light that is not quite as bright so that it disturbs her less, and this one gives me that option. As long as I am pointing it at the area of the page that I'm reading, the 1 LED gives me plenty of light. And the flexibility of this light is incredible, making it easy to adjust which part of the page I'm pointing it towards. The great point light also has a flexible neck, but it is not as flexible as this one is.

Before purchasing the Mighty Bright book light in silver, I wanted to know if it could clip to paperback books, which, after reading the reviews, I found that, yes, it can clip to paperback books. However, the main thing I wanted to know was if someone could use it without disturbing his or her partner trying to fall asleep. Based on the reviews, I found that no one had any complaints of this kind. This was a first-time purchase of a product like this for me. I bought it for my boyfriend because he likes to read in bed at night, while I'm trying to go to sleep. I'm so impressed with this product! He used it for the first time last night, and I was able to fall asleep without even knowing it was on or when he turned it off. For anyone who says they have to read in bed because they can't read in the room with distractions like the TV, computer, or video games, and YOU want some restful sleep, buy Mighty Bright!
 KINDLE: Great when used at an angle to avoid "spotlighting". June 6, 2008

If you plan to use this light (or any light, very likely) with the Kindle, you will find a problem with "spotlighting." The Kindle's screen is just reflective enough to cause a bright splash across the page when a book light is pointed directly at it. It's impossible to read through the brightness. This book light has a goose neck, so it can be used successfully if you angle it a bit, so that only the edge of the circle of light illuminates the page. The drawback is that the light is no longer as local, and may disturb those around you if you are using the light to read at night.

I bought one of these for my wife and one for my daughter and they have been huge hits. I have tried several other book lights and this is probably the best overall one I've found. I only wish it was slightly brighter since after my lasik my night vision is not as good as it used to be and more reading light is required. My wife and daughter both think the Xtra Flex puts out plenty of light.
If they ever come out with a 4 LED verion of the Xtra Flex however I'll be on it like white on rice.

I have had many book lights and this one is by far the best. Sharper Image has a good one, with a leather case and its stylish and pretty bright. But it lost its power over the years, and still it never was as bright as this one by Mighty Bright. I had another from Barnes and Noble with 3 bulbs and was also quite bright. But it lost power easily and now doesn't work at all. That's is why I purchased this book light and it is great! Very bright and light weight, flexible so that you can have the light hit whatever amount of the page or pages you choose, and two different levels of brightness to choose from.
