Honestly, I didn't really know what to expect from this little light. I'd looked at a few elsewhere, but wasn't too impressed. Other than seeing a picture on line and reading the reviews, I didn't have much to go on. The price was right, so I bought it. I can't say enough how much I love this light. It's very cool and works like a charm. The LED light really makes it easy on the eyes when reading. I also like that I can plug it into my computer. It has a large, sturdy mounting apparatus to attach to the back of a book instead of clipping to pages and causing them to fold over. My only suggestion for improvement is the metal clip itself. It's quite rough on the edges. It's sharp enough to cut you if you are not careful and tears paper when sliding it on and off. You have to make a point to lift up the clip as much as possible to avoid tearing pages. Other than that, it's a great product and I highly recommend it. Great multi-purpose unit that provides great task lighting.   July 2, 2010 Read Rover (FL) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I bought a Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Clip-On Light (Black, Kindle Version) a 2 years ago to use with my Kindle and had been disappointed with that light from the very beginning as the light it provided was very "blue" hued and did not provide enough brightness for me to read without eye strain at night. I finally broke down and bought Ritelite LPL792XLB 5-LED Computer and Book Light, Metal to replace it and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner! When I was shopping for a new light last week, there were many that were less expensive. However, I noticed that this light works not only with a battery pack for use reading, but also detaches from that battery pack so you can plug it into your laptop or netbook via the USB port to get great directional task lighting. In fact, amazon sells the USB only version of this light: Ritelite LPL792 5-LED Computer Light, Metal for not much less. I think having the option to charge this light via AAA batteries and effectively go "wireless" with it is great. In terms of design, I can only find one drawback. The battery pack attachment has a slot where you can slide the cover of a book through it in order to hang the light for viewing. The light is really too heavy to do this effectively with a paperback book. This slot also means that there is no clip to use to attach the light to other surfaces such as desk or table ledges. The 5 on-board LED lights provide a great pool of light that is fully adjustable by the flexible arm of the unit. There are 2 settings though there isn't much difference between them. There are 5 blue dots that glow on the top of the unit that may bother some users. An easy fix for this is to just place a piece of tape over them so that their soft glow isn't shining up at you. Good when it works.   June 27, 2010 two cats and a dog (so cal) This light is fine when it works. It's lightweight, stays in place on my book, and the USB feature is nice. The blue lights on top are kind of strange but not bothersome. The only issue I have is that it turns off quite often. It must be a wiring issue because if I can jiggle the neck just right it will start working again. I see from some other reviews that they had the same problem. I purchased the light about 5-6 months ago and use it about once or twice a week, so keep in mind that it took a while to develop the issue. I'm wondering if all the units eventually start shorting out in time, or if was just a lot of bad ones. I still use the light in spite of the blackouts and will do so until the batteries die. Then I'll most likely purchase a new light rather than recharge the batteries. 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...8Next »
