5.0 out of 5 stars My second, February 17, 2007

The first such light, which had only 2 AA batteries, lasted over 10 years. When it died, I hoped I could find an exact replacement. This is made by the same company, but is designed a bit differently, and it's black instead of pink. This time it uses 4 AA batteries, which makes it a bit heavier but should also make the light last even longer.

The conecpt of this is brilliant. Instead of trying to attach the light to the book (how's that gonna work if I want to read The New Yorker or The New York Times in bed??), this one attaches the light to you, facing out at the book or magazine or newspaper or knitting--or if you're in a motel room, it will help you find your way to the bathroom.

It looks a little gorky, but it works like a charm.

This reading light has saved my marriage! I can read perfectly with it and not bother my spouse. In fact, the Beam N Read light is so good, that I now prefer to read with it instead of the "big" reading lamp next to my bed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect needlework light, February 12, 2007

I've tried just about every needlework light there is and have never found one that was just right until now. It hangs around the neck and sits flat on the chest without getting in the way at all. There is absolutely no shadow at all on my counted cross stitch fabric, which has always been a problem and no cord at all to get in the way. You can get an A/C pack, but I wouldn't want it. The way it is with the battery, you don't even know it's there. You just have really good light.
