Mighty Bright 40450 XtraFlex LED Book Light, Black

Weight:This book light is very light in weight, but also has a very strong clip.Brightness:The light has more than enough brightness to read by without binding you, or lighting up the whole room.The Base:The base is designed so that if you hold it one way, you can clip it to a book....and if you turn it over, the base is such that it will stand by itself without being clipped to anything.Batteries:I have never had a problem with this light except for the batteries. If you use this a lot, you may want to get rechargeable batteries, because this thing eats batteries bad. I guess that's just the nature of the beast.Swivel:The head can be turned completely around (360 degrees) in any direction, as well as up or down to suit your reading preferences.The Switch:The switch to turn it on or off, is on the backside of the head & is quite easy to turn the light on & off when needed, but stiff enough that it does not come on when it is not needed. I hope I said that right.Dimensions: 12 inches long over all; the base is 2.75 inches long by 1.5 inches wide.The flexible neck is about 7.75 inches long.The clip is about 1.25 inches deep(the inside of the clip) & 1 inch wide.The head(where the light is) is about 1.75 inches long by 0.75 inches wide.The on/off switch is on the back side of the head....it is a sliding switch NOT a pushbutton.I have never had a problem with this & it has never let me down.It has always shown enough light to read by & it has always been easy to operate even with my eyes closed.I highly recommend this book light.

This is the most durable light I have ever come across. I bought a few of these to use as auxiliary lighting in areas of my home, like a desk or bookshelf. I took one of the lamps outside near my hot tub one night so I could have lighting while I was applying the chemicals. I accidentally left the light attached to the hot tub and it has been there for over a year. Through rain, extreme heat, extreme cold, blizzards, ice storms, and soaking hands from the hot tub. This little light has not failed yet. It is still as bright as the day it arrived even though it's gone through one heck of a beating.My wife and I cannot believe the durability of a $10 light. This is not just your ordinary book lamp, this is the apocalypse light. I would absolutely take this thing camping, clip it to a BBQ, etc.. Hands down one of the best bang for your buck purchases I've made on Amazon.

After getting by with a $4 book light from Walmart for about a month, I decided I was worth more. I checked out a couple of different options, and read quite a few reviews concerning these by Mighty Bright. I went with the XtraFlex, as many noted that the two settings available on the XtraFlex2 were unnecessary, as the first setting was bright enough.This light is DEFINITELY bright enough, but not so much so that it ruins that sort of, immersive reader feeling. As others said, the LED is key and provides even light that will cover two pages. The neck is easily maneuvered but stays in place. The only issue so far is that the battery pack is pretty bulky/hefty. If I ever need another one, I might try the travelflex because of this, but honestly, it's not a huge deal and after slumming it with the cheap one from Walmart, I am living the dream right now.

This booklight is bright (but doesn't make the rest of the room too light) and easy to position, and attractive. The base seems a bit clunky (large) but I suppose it can't get much smaller and still have room for the batteries. Definitely good for the price! ($9.89) Probably would make a good gift for people. And I can see this being used for travel, though I'm sure some company also makes sleeker and tinier (and more expensive) "travel booklights". (This is already pretty small though!)Caveat: I can't say yet how it is on battery-life... Haven't used it enough yet. But of course I only use rechargeable batteries with things like this so it shouldn't matter *too* much, since I don't intend to use it frequently. I also can't say how long the bulb will last, which is probably the more important thing. Hopefully it's not junky though!

If you love to read, then you know how important a good reading light is. I had a reading light that I picked up at Barnes & Noble years ago that I really liked, but it finally went kaput. After some research, I picked this one up and it is great.* Cheap - the price for this light is one of the best you will find.* Clip works great for paperback or hardback.* Light is very bright.* Light is white - I prefer white light over the yellow or natural light for reading.* Flexible, easy to use for any book.* Very good battery life (a big problem for other lights I have owned)One of the best products on Amazon for the money - buy two. Highly Recommended.

I do not think this light is "too bright" - in fact, I would have liked for it to be brighter. I have purchased 5 similar lights. All the others have a two light option. If you want the light to be less bright, you have the option of using one of the lights - two for a brighter light. This product features only one light and doesn't seem as sturdy as the other lights I have purchased that are similar in design. The big problem that I have with these lights is that there doesn't seem to be any replacement bulbs. I have had bulbs burn out in all the other lights I purchased even though some are touted to never burn out. This light was less expensive than the others I have purchased so I figured - what do I have to lose even if it only lasts me for a few months.I use these lights for one purpose - to have a night light with which to read my Kindle keyboard and yes, they do get a lot of use so perhaps I have used them beyond what their feature promised relative to "never burning out." If I had it to do over, I would have purchased a more study expensive light which is most likely what I will wind up doing in the not too distant future as soon as this light burns out.
