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 belive that I recived this light as a gift, and it was forever helpful. Although it doesn't have a very widespread beam for reading, it is very helpful for a portable light. With a removeable light, you can carry a mini flashlight where ever you go,that has a reasonably powerful beam. It fits well in my hand, (the ball) and it's good for doing closeup work. Plus, when clipped to something, the ball is very maneuverable in the holder. All in all, this is a very handy, very cool "gadget" to have around the house for all purposes.

That's right. It arrived turned on, thus reducing its battery life and the battery is one of those hard to locate fat circles. And then the light does not fasten nicely to the book and it doesn't give a wide enough scope to facilitate reading. You wind up holding it in your hand, which rather defeats the purpose of a booklight (get a cheap flashlight instead). My advice: Don't buy it.
