i read at night with a small efficient LED flashlight. the problem is propping the flashlight so it comfortably illuminates my book. it limits my reading positions somewhat. i bought these thinking that it would be better. they work great, clip on to my reading glasses, and bonus! i can point the spots of light where i need them so i don't have to nod my head around like you have to do with a headlamp. booklights are fine, on the book, but not for looking around elsewhere. these light up what ever i'm looking at.

two Buts: they use those coinsize flat batteries, which are not as cheap as AAA's. mine just ran down after about a week and a half of nightly use, i don't have any replacement batteries, so i went back to my flashlight. get some spare batteries to have on hand.

when i clip the lights up near the hinges of the glasses, where they don't get tangled up in my hair there is a bright light shining in the corner of my eyes. there are little blinders on two sideds if the bulb, but not on the top and bottom, and they are bright! i had to make a couple of little blinders out of black electricians tape to shield the bulb from my eyes. there is another model that has two LED's per clipon. might be more light.

I bought more than 3 pair of this light for me and for give aways. In my personal opinion I have found them very useful when i'm working in a very low light enviroment, laboratory procedures or just if the lights go out. I haven't tried them in hard hats, just in safety glasses and it holds just right, DO NOT try to put them on your everyday use glasses, they won't be stable and you might as well drop them and break them (believe me, i tried once).

The only thing that i've noticed is that, since the first day i started using them, the light sometimes became tenuous or weak, and had to give them a little tap to correct it, but then it worked great.

These clip-on lights are nothing but CHEAP! I found them of poor quality, and one of them didn't even work when it came. They're really too bulky to wear on glasses, despite their light weight. And, trying to turn them off/on while on the glasses is ridiculous. I don't recommend.

Gave a pair of these to our dentist - he loves them! He wears safety bifocal glasses and needs light to shine for close work.
He's been wearing them about 2 weeks and thinks they are great.
