Boy, do some reviewers have an axe to grind or what?! You'd think they were reviewing a $100 light or something. I like these lights. I have had several for the last few years and they have held up great and been very useful. I use mine as book lights, fix-it lights and I keep one in my car. I have even given some as gifts - to the recipient's delight! I might agree that there may be better pure "book lights" on the market - but there are not better book lights that are ALSO all around good task lights / flashlights. This one is the best! I guess as far as booklights go, it just depends on what your expectations are and how you use it - and how big the pages of the book are that you're trying to light up! At least with this light it's way easy to roll the ball around and point the light where you want it. Contrary to some weird reviews, the batteries have all lasted a long time, were very easy to change (just unscrew the back of the ball - drop in the batteries and screw it back together - that's it!) and were not hard to find in stores. I have purchased several sets of batteries at both WalMart and Radio Shack. If you get this fun light and you don't like it, then you are probably the kind of person who's just never happy about anything!

I just love the innovative idea of setting 2 LEDs into an eyeball shape so that it can rotate in any direction while in the clamp. You can pop it out of it's "socket" and go looking for something under the bed, behind the computer, or in the room while your roomate is sleeping. I got one as a gift and had to search the internet high and low to find it here. I need to get a few as gifts myself.

Its light was okay, although it could not quite cover an entire page of a book. The main problem is it's too shabby to survive a battery change--so you will get just 40 hours of use before it runs out. Also, finding 3V Lithium batteries is not easy.

Come on, the least you can do is let me know if you're ever planning on shipping my order! Very poor merchant in my opinion. Would never do business with them again.
