Mighty Bright 40511 XtraFlex2 Book Light, Blue

I read for hours in bed when the rest of the family, including the dog, is finally settled down, sleeping and quiet. Reading with a book light seems to be the only way to quiet the dog so I can read. I have tried so many different kinds of book lights that do not work for me. Either they slide off the book or tear the page or the lighting is bad. When my last loved book light finally gave out, I was unable to find a suitable replacement until I purchased the Mighty Bright Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light. I love it and I am finally back to being able to read on MY schedule! The clip attaches and holds the book light steady whether I am reading a mass market paperback, a trade paper back or a hardcover. I shift from side to side as I read and I have had no problems with the light shifting position. Unlike other book lights, the clip does not damage the pages either attaching it or removing it. The only difficulty is when I reach the end of a short 180-200 page mass market paperback. As I reach the end, then the book itself becomes less sturdy. At this point, I easily switch the attachment from the back to the front pages. Best of all the light covers the bottom of the page no matter what size of book I read. The light has two settings so that a reader can turn on one or two lights. The light switch is a push switch rather than a slide switch and thus is easy to turn off when the eyes are getting really heavy. What insomniac wants to finally get sleepy and then have to fuss with a slide switch just to turn it off! The quality of the LED light is particularly good for extremely near-sighted readers who wear glasses. I have a lot of difficulty with some book lights and reflections inside of my glasses despite the anti-reflective coating on my glasses lenses. No problem at all with this light! The material between the light and the clamp attachment is more sturdy than similar book lights I have owned. Nevertheless, I would not encourage hard sharp bending since the circuit between the power (3 AAA batteries) and the light goes through this section and likely to break the electrical connection with excessive, rigorous bending. It is easy to bend to get the light coverage I need without making it do such acrobatics. I am thrilled that this book light not only matches my old favorite but surpasses it!

The unit feels very sturdy, and the picture is exactly the product you receive. The plastic clip seems likely to hold up nicely and stand up to the load of being clipped and un-clipped a LOT. The neck is finely jointed black metal, and it bends easily, but the weight of the light head can't bend it. The neck feels like it will stand up just fine to lots of bending. The light is fairly white to my eye. If there is a bluish tinge, it is very slight. And it's plenty bright enough for reading a book it is clipped to. Switch seems sturdy, clicks easily but distinctly, and is easy to find right on the top side of the light head. Hit the switch once to turn both lights on; hit it again and the 'inner' light turns off and outer light stays on; hit it a third time and all lights are off. Battery cover slides on and off just like pretty much any TV remote or cell phone: just apply a little downward pressure with with your finger on the little 'arrow' molded into the battery cover and push. Cover slides off revealing the battery compartment. No screwdriver or any other tool needed. It has a rubber pad on the end of the clip, which matches up with a rubber pad on the base, helping it to stay in place on hard surfaces. Some reviews have noted that it slides around a bit on thin book covers, and I saw that too *IF* I didn't push the clip as far down as it would go on the cover. When I clipped it as far onto the hardcover as it would go, it didn't move at all when I waved the book around. The max thickness that the clip will go on is 1 1/8" fully (basically 'hyper') extended. The clip seems designed to work optimally when the item it is clipped on is 3/8" to 3/4" thick. BUT of course it still works OK on thinner and thicker stuff than that. Bottom line: I can't think of anything I'd change. Would be a tich nicer for clipping onto books if the battery box was lighter and thinner. But you can't get AAAA batteries just everywhere, and they wouldn't last as long. Also if the battery box was much lighter, you couldn't use it as a lamp base. DIMENSIONS: Base battery box: 3.1"L x 1.6"W x 0.65"H. Clip Triangle Height: 0.7" Overall height from bottom of base to top of clip: 1.7" Flexible Neck Length (not counting light head): 7.75 BUT the neck starts 0.6" in from the end of the battery box. Neck diameter: 5/32" (0.15"). Light Head: 2.18"L x 0.8"W x 0.64"H.

I've had the Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light for almost a year now, and I absolutely love it! I'm able to attach it to a book or to my Kindle. The Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light is also available in the following colors: Black , Silver , Purple , Green , and Pink . Pros ---- - VERY BRIGHT White Light - Two Brightness Settings (1) On the brighter setting, it uses both of its LED lights; (2) on the dimmer setting, it uses only one. - Phenomenal Battery Life The book light requires 3 AAA batteries to operate. My book light provides 15-20 hours of light before the light STARTS to be noticeably dimmer. The book light can provide about 35 - 40 hours of usable light before I have to replace the batteries (I use 1000 mAH AAA rechargeable batteries). - Flexible Gooseneck The gooseneck is extremely flexible; it can be twisted or bent. I can adjust the height and direction of the light with total ease. It comes in very handy for directing the light on the verso or recto as needed as you're reading. - Compact and Lightweight With a book in hand, I hardly feel the weight of the book light when it is clipped to the book. - Rugged and Durable The book light is well-made and has a rugged casing. Cons --- None. I honestly can't think of any! The Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light is both attractive and functional. Plus, it is very affordable and reasonably priced. You really can't go wrong with this one!

I like Mighty Bright's products; I use their Mighty Bright Orchestra Light, with Adapter and Bag and am super happy with that. This one, though, isn't so great, at least for the way I wanted to use it: to read comparatively large books with my (relatively poor) eyesight. For that I'd give it three stars, but I'm sticking with four because it's not a bad product as far a single-arm two-LED light goes. I liked that the gooseneck is supple but strong, stays in place wherever you put it. Seems to be reasonably well-built, it doesn't weigh much. I didn't use the AAA batteries it came with, because I intend to use it almost exclusively with rechargeables. What I didn't like: 1. When you try to spread the light out across both pages of a standard-size hardcover book, it's not quite bright enough. It worked great when I focused all the light onto a single page -- nice and bright -- but that meant I had to keep repositioning the lamp left and right, over and over, each time I went to the next page. That was the dealbreaker for me. I'll concede that it's probably slightly brighter with non-rechargable batteries, due to their higher output voltage, but again, I'd only ever use this with rechargables. 2. The light it casts has a little bit of a hot halo around the edge. That is to say, it's slightly darker in the middle than it is right around the perimeter of the illuminated area. This bothered me a little, because my pupils wanted to adjust to the brightest spot on the page. 3. The front edge of the bulb housing is another too-bright thing in one's field of vision. I'd probably recommend buying this in black plastic, or even putting a bit of black electrical tape on the tip of the lamp, where it faces you, to act as kind of a visor or blinder.

As I was about to take a family vacation with small children where we'd be sharing a hotel room, I needed a book light that would allow me to stay up and read after they'd fallen asleep, without disturbing them. After researching for a few hours, the Xtra Flex LED Book Light seemed to have the features I wanted and had the best overall reviewer ratings, so I ordered one. Now that I've used it, below are my pro's and con's for this unit. Pro's: - The unit has two bright LEDs and you can choose to use one or two of the LEDs. The light emitted has a slightly bluish tint to it, but the light is clear and sharp. - The light is tightly concentrated, and does not significantly bleed-over into the room. The area covered by the LEDs is wide enough to cover a large book, and does not have any hotspots. - The unit uses three AAA batteries. I haven't had to change mine yet, so those three batteries should last you a long time. Other reviewers have mentioned they got over 40 hours of use from a set of three batteries, and I see no reason to doubt that, especially if you only have to use one LED when reading, as I do, rather than two. - The "Xtra Flex" was very flexible indeed, and I had no trouble bending the head into a position that lit up my books Con: - I wouldn't have minded if the clip that holds the unit to your book had a little more tension. On rare occasions, the clip would slip around a bit. Overall, this is a very good late-night reading solution and a good value. Highly recommended.

I got a Mighty-Bright 2-Light about 6 months ago, and I just loved it for its bright light. I'm often a passenger in several-hour-long car trips that go late into the night, and I love having this light to read by (I don't get carsick reading in a car like many people do). I like the light so much that just a couple of weeks ago, I bought another one as a back-up. And I'm glad I did. The LED lights are so nice and bright that my husband and I used these booklights throughout Hurricane Sandy, after our power went out, not just to read by but to use as we moved throughout the house, and also when we took the dog outside after dark. Both lights were on for hours and never seemed to lose their power. I also love that these Mighty-Bright 2-Lights run on AAA batteries, which are inexpensive, easy to replace, last a long time, and you can even get rechargeable AAA batteries these days. This is in sharp contrast to booklights that run on button-shaped batteries which I've found to be unreliable, don't last very long, and that their power gradually fades so that most of the time the booklight doesn't produce a crisp (or even usable) amount of light. And those button-shaped batteries are expensive and not rechargeable. I gave the Mighty-Bright 4 stars instead of 5 because I think it's overpriced for a booklight, but it's durable and the LEDs are great. Recommend. UPDATE: I am now upgrading this book light to 5 stars because I feel it's worth it in spite of its high cost. I just replaced one of the 2 lights I initially bought because my dog got hold of one of them and chewed it to pieces. I value book lights so much that I can't stand the thought of being without one on one of our long night-time drives, and these book lights have held up so well (except for the dog chewing up one of them). Thus I decided to replace the one I lost with the exact same model. The problem I have is because I married a New York driver, which could make anybody's nerves raw. Reading a book in the car at night (or in the daytime, for that matter) keeps me from watching the road while he's driving and thus keeps me from turning into a nervous wreck before we reach our destination.

I'm very happy with this little light! I clipped this light to the headboard of my bed instead of clipping it to my book. The neck adjusts easily to shine the light wherever I want it, and shines over a slightly larger area since it's a little further away from the page. It's still within arm's reach, and I don't have to worry about holding the book a certain way, or moving the light if I shift positions. It's nice and bright - as bright as my honkin' big flashlight - without being blinding if I happen to look right into it. I've used it roughly half an hour a night for a couple of weeks now, with no sign of needing to change the batteries. With my old light, by this time I would have gone through about $5 worth of batteries. Even using rechargeables, that's way too much energy used. (By the way, don't bother with the batteries that came with it. They were more or less DOA.) My only quibble is that the color of the LED light is somewhat more blue than the standard incandescent bulb we're all used to. This took me all of one night to get used to. Bottom line: It's inexpensive and it works. What more could I ask? **UPDATE 3/13/12 - BATTERY LIFE: After two months, I've finally replaced the two AAA batteries. That's after roughly half an hour of use every night, plus several occasions of falling asleep with the light still on. I'm still very happy with this light!

I bought this for my Kindle 2 because I wake up earlier than my husband when we're on vacation, and I hate having to read in the bathroom so that I don't wake him up by turning on the light. This solves that problem nicely. I found this product when I looked for Kindle 2 accessories. There is another Mighty Bright clip on light that's specifically for the Kindle, but it costs a bit more. This works just fine. It can either clip to the Kindle 2 or the cover. It's not very heavy - I tested it on a regular paperback, and as long as you put more than 50 pages in the clip, it won't bend the pages. One thing I like about this is that it can rest on its own clip, like a stand. This is great for when I want to play on my laptop in a dark hotel room and still want to see the keyboard. I don't have to clip it to anything - just stand it up and turn it on. Bonus! This uses 3 AAA batteries. I'm using the ones it came with and will change to rechargeable ones when these die. It might take a while for them to die, though - LED lights don't use up much energy. That's good because rechargeable batteries don't hold much charge. There are three settings - really bright, kinda' bright, and off. The light is a little bluish, which makes white pages stand out really well. The only problem I have with this is that after this product shipped, I saw the exact same thing at Barnes & Noble for $2 less. It's an awesome product and worth what I paid for it, but paying less would have made it better.

Prodotto conforme a quello visto nella vetrina online. Consegna ricevuta come da accordi. E' la migliore luce da lettura che io abbia mai avuto. Ha due intensità di illuminazione, funziona con tre ministilo (non in dotazione) e si aggancia perfettamente a libri e riviste. Sembra di buona fattura ed è perfettamente snodabile per assecondare le esigenze dell'utilizzatore. I consumi sono esigui e quindi le batterie durano più a lungo. Lo consiglio. Aggiornamento 2020: a distanza di 6 anni dall'acquisto, funziona ancora. Confermo il fatto che consuma pochissimo. Prodotto eccezionale. 10 e lode.

El artículo llegó en perfectas condiciones, sus dos opciones de alumbrado son excelentes para la lectura. Estoy muy contenta con la compra

The light may be good. But friends just look at the stuff I have received. It's old, damaged, unserviceable and broken. Amazon must take cognizance of this and take appropriate action. Time is wasted and so is the belief.

I bought this specifically for my Kindle but have been using it in place of my regular bedside lamp for all my reading. It has a relatively long, strong flexible neck, which can be moved into - and will hold - any position. It has a nice deep clip for attaching to a good chunk of pages for stability. There are two light settings (one bulb or 2) and whilst the bulbs are very bright, they are only focussed on a book-sized area so it does not light up the rest of the room as well. It came with the 3 AAA batteries it needs but you can also purchase a mains AC adapter separately, which is great as I will be using it in place of my lamp and so will save on batteries. I have tried quite a few book lights and they are often too dim, don't clasp firmly to the book, do not cover enough of the page or eat batteries - this is the best book light I have had and I am very pleased with it!

Die Lampe kann mit zwei Helligkeitsstufen aufwarten. Stufe 1: helles Licht Stufe 2: sehr helles Licht Oben ans Buch geklemmt, kann man mit Stufe 1 bei Dunkelheit noch gut Bücher oder Zeitschriften lesen! Ich verwende sie beim Camping und als Beifahrer während der Autofahrt. Stufe 2 verwende ich beim Sticken, denn dafür muss das Licht besonders hell sein. Die Lampe lässt sich hierfür ganz bequem am Stickrahmen befestigen! Durch den flexiblen Lampenhals lässt sich der Lichtstrahl passend ausrichten! Der Clip am unteren Ende wird durch festen Fingerdruck geöffnet. Er sitzt richtig fest und geht nicht ohne weiteres ab. Hier stimmt alles und ist absolut funktionell. Ich war erst skeptisch, ob so ein kleines Lämpchen wirklich genug Licht erzeugen kann - aber dieses Teil hat mich absolut überzeugt. Mittlerweile habe ich eine Lampe fest im Auto deponiert und eine im Wohnwagen. Dies ist eine klare Kaufempfehlung!
