5.0 out of 5 stars The best book light possible, March 27, 2009

I rarely write reviews for the products I buy. This product is an exception. Never in my life was I so pleased with such a simple product as a book light. It is just very smartly designed: It is dually compatible with both power supply and computer usb port. It has dual intensity lighting. It has a magnet at the base so it connects sturdily to any metal object. It runs on standard AAA batteries that are easy to find, not some impossibly rare lithium stuff thats impossible to find. It has a blue backlight that reduces strain on the eye by reducing contrast. Oh and I almost forgot to mention that the LEDs give off light at just the right intensity for reading/typing. Seeing that no reviews were written to date I just had to let you all know that being priced even less than the competition this is certainly the one to get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light When & Where You Need It, October 14, 2009

My search for the right lighting system for my laptop finally ended with the discovery of the RiteLite Wireless Light. Mounted with five LEDs and three power settings, this outstanding tool more then covers the basics.

With its all metal 8" flexible neck, this model spreads the perfect amount of direct light to both my laptop or hardbound books. No matter if its a laptop or notebook, keyboard real estate is easily covered. The push button power switch is conveniently located on the tip of the light head. A nice surprise was the aesthetic, soft blue glow emitted from the top of the light head via five portholes.

The RightLite operates via a USB port or by plugging directly into the battery powered magnetic base. Three AAA batteries supply the juice for the base. I strongly suggest users avoid placing the magnetic base near your laptop. A metal clip is attached to the base for book reading. The gray finished RightLite comes packed with instructions, power base and the standard one year manufacturer's warranty. Batteries not included.

After going through several inferior, overpriced lighting sources its indeed a pleasure to finally find a product that delivers in both quality and price. Ritelite Computer/Book Light is an excellent tool that won't leave you in the dark.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not great for e-readers., January 10, 2010

First, the good: The light is nice and bright, but also directional (so as not to disturb others nearby). The gooseneck is very flexible and can twist at least 180 degrees.

The not-so-good: The clip is metal and curved (over the battery housing) with relatively sharp edges. It could easily end up scratching whatever you clipped it to (I don't use it on my leather e-reader cover). The USB cable is short, so an extension cable is necessary for an e-reader (as well as a nearby powered USB port) but not a laptop/netbook with a spare port. Note that when using the USB cable, the battery-pack and clip are disconnected as the gooseneck plugs into either a USB port or the battery pack.
