I was looking for a USB light to use with my PC laptop in a very dark environment when I found this little gem. I took a chance, and couldn't be more pleased. The 3 L.E.D.'s put out the exact right amount of light, without being offensive to anyone else nearby (a big consideration in my application). The flexible shaft is metal and stays where it's put, also very thin so it stays out of my visual field. It doesn't draw much power, so operating on battery power is no problem. 5 stars awarded for durability as I'm not particularly careful when storing it - usually its thrown loosely into my bag. I have used it for about 8 months now and recently purchased 5 more for friends and family. The price is right, and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Good product at reasonable price. One big plus is it has an off/on switch, which most I've looked at do not, so when you don't need to use it, you don't have to pull it out of the USB socket in order to turn off. I would like the light spectrum to cover more of the keyboard, but that seems to be a problem with most USB lights and this one probably covers it a little better because of the shape and its flexibility. But it illuminates enough to do the job.

Pros:
1) The led light's tail construction is perfectly(!) balanced between sufficient flexibility and strong fixation it in any position
2) This led light is small and sturdy which makes it very portable
3) USB powered.
4) Has a switch
Cons:
The main problem I have noticed so far with it is that in certain positions, the light reflects from the PC screen and makes it more difficult to read. Although from what I see this is a typical problem of any USB light in the market today. And of course the problem is quickly resolved if you repositioned the light in a particular way, and if your keyboard is not too shiny you will be able to work on your PC just fine.
However, I do think this neat led light might benefit greatly from the following design improvements
1) The diffusion of led lights should be increased
2) Adding another switch to regulate the brightness of the light would improve this product's ergonomics
3) Also removable/adjustable deflectors (sort of like "wing","blades") should be attached to the head of this led light to allow the user adjust them to ensure that the keyboard is lit but no light is reflected in the computer screen.
I think I will make the deflectors myself (from plastic similar to photographic film) and that will be all right, until I find an even better usb light that is. Other than that - good product.
By the way, HDE maintain their own web site with more products like this.

Nice item for my Dell 17.3 laptop. Plenty of light illuminates entire keyboard. Plenty of cord for plugging into the USB and positioning the light in the best spot. Read more

Works great at first but not a long-lived product.
I bought this about 10 months ago and have used it roughly one hour per week since. One LED has died and another one is starting to flicker on and off. Read more

USB laptop light
This light does as it says, provides light to an otherwise dark keyboard. A little bit of glare but not annoying by any means. Read more
