Amazon.com Review

The smart design of Zelco's Itty Bitty book light means you no longer have take your page-turner to the kitchen when your partner needs to sleep. With the little lamp's no-glare, adjustable glow, you can read comfortably in the dark without straining your eyes or disturbing your bedmate. Even though the clip-on structure is lightweight and compact, the light it casts--using optical quality bulbs--is strong, bright, and shadowless. Folding up to a tidy 5-1/2 inches, the Itty Bitty is easy to store or pack. Plus, it's adjustable, so you can shine the light right where you need it. Great for late-night bookworms, dorm-dwellers, and car-campers, the lamp includes two power options--an AC adapter or a battery pack for four C batteries. It also features a dial power switch, an attached 8-foot connection cable, a heat-triggered safety fuse, and a spare bulb. --Emily Bedard

The first bulb burned out after about 10 hours of use. With second bulb the lamp itself stopped working with another 5 hours of use. Didn't work with several new bulbs. Now the lamp and bulbs are in the trash and I'm looking for a new little lamp.

This is the neatest little invention ever!
The Problem: How to read when others in the room say lights out? Also, How to read in the car after dark w/o bothering the driver?

The answer: The Itty-Bitty book light!
It clipps to the cover of your book shines a suprisingly bright splash of light directly on your page. No more aiming a flash light with hand and a book with the other!

Another importent feature is that the it won't light the whole room. It shines directly at your book and only your book.

Lastly, It works with batteries for the plane/train/car or save your $'s and run it off AC at home.

One Flaw that makes it only 4 stars, it uses a funky, hard to find special bulb. At least it comes with 2!

This a great booklight if it never leaves home!!! It produces a strong light but will NOT hold up to the jostling of normal travel. I have about 7 broken ones to prove it. Until this booklight is encased in a protective cover it is worthless. It also is quite heavy to carry the battery pack unit.
