I bought myself this book light after giving someone a $5 "robotic" book light from Walgreens. When she used hers it lit up the room. When I got mine today I tried it out and it barely lit up the palm of my hand. Had to smack it twice when the light flickered off to get it to come back on. It is flimsy, the light is dim and it's not worth the wait. Go to Walgreens instead. Mine is now lighting up the bottom of the trash can.

I agree with the first purchaser. This light was so flimsy and the bulb so dim, I immediately threw it away. What a joke.

Over the last 10 years I must have purchased over 10 compact book lights, my wife is a light sleeper. rather than listen to her complain about "too much light", I researched book held, compact reading lamps. I have to say, most of the book lights I've purchased stink! Either they just don't illuminate properly, are too heavy or have cords that strangle you. But this little gem is extremely light weight and clips effectively onto any book via the pages or the cover (pages for hardcover and cover for paperbacks). What is so brilliant, no pun intended, is that the little led light is adjustable via a ball and socket deal. The led light is super bright and uses two 2025 watch/electronics batteries that last for about 15-20 hours. If I had a complaint, or more of a suggestions, it would be for the batteries to last a bit longer. The only downside is that the batteries can cost as much as the lamp, that's too bad. Other than the cost of the batteries, I love this book light. paulhSlim-Owl Super Bright LED Book Light, White.

This light is very affordable and, though it may not be adequate for some applications, it would really depend on what you need it for. I am a minister in South Texas and as such, officiate a lot of weddings. Here in south Texas, if you want an outside wedding, you should plan it late in the afternoon or early evening to avoid stiffling heat.

After having several weddings in the early evening when lighting was minimal, I had difficulty reading the ceremony so I bought one of these little jewels. Problem solved! I can see where this light might not be adequate for laying in bed reading or on an airplane or in a car, where you are trying to read and yet not disturb others, if you're just reading a few pages, this book light is great. It is small enough to be inconspicuous and fits easily in your pocket.

Other suggested applications might be reading a menu in a dimly lit restaurant or reading a playbill at the theater. Since it also fits easily in a pocket or purse, it could also double as a key light.

I absolutely love this little book light. It is so slim and easy to store, plus I can use it for my magazines and paperbacks. I highly recommend this item. A+++

I think this is the perfect little book light! It clips on just like a book mark, it's light weight, you can rotate the bulb, and it's bright enough to read with at night. I absolutely love it!
