I bought this book light as a second book light because I LOVED the Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Dual Super LED Book Light in Black...and well, so did my mother who is another avid reader, so I gave that one to her!

Now, about this WONDERFUL little light, if you don't want to have to turn on a side lamp next to your bed or sit in a lounge chair with the over head lights on in the living room or perhaps you just don't want to wake up your significant other or child sleeping by you just because your reading. Well then, this little light is absoultely PERFECT for the job!

I was AMAZED at how bright this little light is and you can actually turn it down a notch. There are two settings and even on the highest amount of light, you will not wake up anyone that is asleep or watching television next to you. But if having both of the lights on at the same time is too much light for you, with just the simple push of a button, it's back down to just one light. Very easily adjusted. With it's snake like neck and flexibility the positions of the light are endless and you will be sure to find one that's most comfortable for you and the way you handle your book. (There's nothing worse than having a light right in your face or covering words of the book and constatly having to move it. With this light, that just isn't so.)

Plus, the light has a beautiful light blue tinge to it and it makes reading very easy on the eyes. It's hard not to love. It seems to have just the right brilliance.

Now there are two options when it comes to powering the light. You can buy the adapter and plug it into the wall or you can use three AAA batteries. Which, have seemed to last forever by the way. But neither options are included. You have to buy one or the other. (Or both...depending on what your needs are.)

This light has a clip so you can either clip it to your book or you can have it free standing. It works perfect with the KINDLE, which is what I bought it for, but it also works wonderful for a regular "dead trees version" of a book that you might be reading as well.

This cute, little, bendable light comes in assorted colors so if you'd like something other than pink, please know that that is another option. I believe you could even find one in your favorite color. They have Blue, Pruple, Black, Pink, Silver, Lime, Aqua blue, yellow and a few other colors that I know I'm leaving out...like red. : ) So for the fashionistas like me, practical and fashionable all in one swoop!

Quite honestly I haven't found a better book light and the price is outstanding. So it's basically a win-win situation no matter how you look at it. Hope that helps if your contemplating the purchase. I think it's well worth every penny!

I bought three of these in blue (a spare for me and one for my brother) after thoroughly reading all of the comments on competitive brands. I found the comments praising this model to be right on the mark. When I read it lit up both pages at the same time using dual lights where all other brands required constant repositioning for each page, that was all I needed to know this was the best reading light for me.

I can't say enough nice things about this product. It has dual lights on a flex shaft which you can position to fully illuminate both pages of a large hardback book. You wont need to keep moving the light around to light your pages with this one and the pages ar well lit for easy reading in the dark. But the light is centralized on the book and not the surrounding area so others can sleep while you read.

You can also switch from dual lights to a single light. The flexible shaft on the light is sturdy and stable enough to firmly hold its position over the book even while you move around and turn pages. You can either clip it on the cover or use the clip to hold open the pages. It operates on AAA batteries. The higher quality battery, the longer it lasts. I use the Duracell ultra digital batteries with the blue band.

I cannot think of any negatives about this product. I'm not associated with any seller. I am just a customer who was happy to find a great product. Definitely a good buy.

The XtraFlex2 LED book light is light years (no pun intended) better than the old itty-bitty-type lights that used incandescent bulbs.

The XtraFlex2 gets great battery life, unlike the the itty-bittys, which I found went through batteries like crazy. Of course, the LED "bulbs" don't burn out like the itty-bitty blubs (and the XtraFlex2 doesn't heat up from its bulbs, either). The XtraFlex2's integrated battery pack is also great; no getting tangled up in a cord while you're in bed.

I stumbled on the XtraFlex2 at my local Borders. They had a bunch of them in a display when the final Harry Potter book was published (presumably figuring that a lot of kids, little and big, were going to be doing a lot of reading in bed...). The leftovers were sold at half price, a real bargain. I bought one, tried it out, loved it, and went back to buy several more for use as gifts (and spares).

Available in colors other than pink; Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Light - Black, Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light, Silver, Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Book/Craft/Clip-On Light, Green, Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Dual Book/Craft/Clip-On Light, Purple, and Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light, Blue.

I bought the Mighty Bright light for my Kindle 2, this review is for anyone considering use of the light for Kindle 2 only. In my opinion, the light should not even be advertised as an accessory for the Kindle 2. It is huge! The light cannot be properly clipped directly onto the Kindle without slipping off. The only way it would stay on is if the huge clip is partially clipped onto the screen. I cannot review on how well the light actually works because I didn't even turn it on. On to the next one....

the neck is pretty flimsy so you have to move it a lot, also kind of bulky on most books. but very bright with heavy duty batteries.

My doctor told me not to have bright lights in my bedroom at night since I have trouble sleeping. I was using a really bright Ott Light that I love. He suggested a book light with the rest of the room dark. That way my brain will produce melatonin it needs.

I am able to read a regular book with this and no eye strain. I don't have my Kindle 2 yet but I ordered the amazon basic black Kindle cover and called customer service and they assured me it will work with that cover.

It is very bright and you can use one or two lights. It is feather light so it doesn't weigh down the book.

Highly recommend...

This is a perfect light when you need just a little extra without bothering anyone else next to you. On the plane, train, and automobile. Even the person sleeping next to you will not be bothered by it. It works for me and that is all that matters. I purchased a holder in the same color and it brings attention to what I am doing. Now if more people will purchase them, maybe the prices will go down.
It arrived in a box that looked like someone had stepped on it. But it did not have anything wrong with it.
The only thing I did not like about ordering this, is that all the colors are not listed together. If I did not find a skin that I liked better then I had originally picked out when I went to checkout, I never would have found this. I am not one to spend hours looking, I search and find and then purchase.
Anyway, get this if you need one. As I said before, just enough light. And, it has TWO settings. Which I think is a plus.

I have had problems with this light from the start. Half the time it won't turn on and when it does, only one light works. Would never buy it again.

I love this little led light, it clamps to my Kindle cover & then I turn off my bedroom light
and read just with the Mighty Bright Light!!

This light puts out great light. It won't hurt your eyes and helps keep you from straining your eyes in darker rooms. The to different settings is a great option. I love the cushion on the inside of the clip, it helps keep things from scratching as well as from slipping. I would recommend this light over some of the others that I have ordered.
