Amazon.com Product Description

Smart and compact, this inventive clip light serves to protect eyes and prevent headaches caused by squinting and straining to see in dim lighting situations. The unit's super-bright white LED bulb offers 24 hours of continuous light, and it casts a generous glow perfect for illuminating nighttime reading, outdoor evening activities, and other tasks. Equipped with an integrated spring clip that allows it to attach easily to multiple surfaces, the light's long and flexible elastomer neck swivels and bends to cast light into every imaginable direction. Best of all, the compact unit makes a great traveling companion convenient for long flights, dim hotel rooms, and map-reading after dark. Due to its energy-efficient operation, the clip light requires two replaceable lithium CR2032 batteries (included) and measures 1-3/5 inches wide by 1 inch deep by 10-3/4 inches tall.

The sleek flexible elastomer body bends to position light at any angle. Has a superbright LED light which will give 24 hours of continuous light. Travels snugly in purse, backpack or luggage.

4.0 out of 5 stars great, but non-standard batteries, June 15, 2006

I found this to be bright enough for me to read without disturbing my bedmate. It's a soft light (almost seems like a natural spectrum) and is very directed at the page. The clip is large enough for even a thick hardcover, and the neck is flexible as needed. So, functionally, it gets a solid A.

But I wasn't happy that it takes nonstandard batteries (two of those round watch/calculator batteries). Replacing them is a hassle (though inexpensive) because I have to make a special shopping trip noting the exact type of battery before I leave, and I have to find them in a store with an electronic department. I wish this light took AAA or something.

The light does include batteries, so you won't need to worry until you run out. For me, that was probably around 20 hours or so.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing, May 6, 2007

This review is from: Zelco Rubberneck Clip Light (Tools & Home Improvement)

A late night reader, I bought this light so I could read without distubing my husband in bed. I was terribly dissapointed. The light is so dim, and the way the casing is made, makes the light bright in some places and very dim in others. While it's rather nice not to be blinded by the light you're trying to read with, I found I had to hold the book light and trace what I was reading line by line. I was hoping for a hands-free light, but this one was so difficult to use and simply not woth the money I spent on it. I ended up purchasing a head lamp, and that works worlds better.

This review is from: Zelco Rubberneck Clip Light (Tools & Home Improvement)

Despite the snazzy bendable neck, strong gripping clip, and generally good styling, this light suffers from some sub-standard manufacturing. Primarily, the on/off switch does not work as it should, and despite clicking it to the on position the light only engages when I press down on the switch, when it lights sporadically. The battery casing does not close very well, and the whole head of the light is very flimsy, with about the solidity of a kinder egg toy.

Also, the battery that came with the light had almost entirely run out before I even got to try it, so I can't really comment on the quality of the illumination. I'm sending it back!
