Stick to a normal torch
This reading light is very bright and allows easy reading. However, the device to clip it onto the book is poorly designed, and clasps so tightly on the book it can damage it as you take it off. The clip also covers up part of the top of the page, so you have to move it when you want to read that part of the page. It flips open slowly at the press of a button, but after about a month of using it this function had ceased to work as well as it originally did. I gave up on it too soon to see how long the batteries would last, but I doubt that they would have a very long life, considering the brightness of the light.
Very disappointing!
What a disappointment! I had a very similar looking book light to this previously that lasted really well, took AAA batteries and was generally really good. My other half got this for me as a gift to replace the worn original one and it has been a total waste of money, frankly.
My initial shock was that the light was pretty well blue rather than white, which didn't make reading all that easy in the first place. That aside, I was accustomed to the general set-up having had a similar style one before. With the last one, however, you could adjust the height and placement of the light so that you always had optimum lighting on the page. With this one you have no such luxuries! As the light springs out from storage position it settles in one place and one place only. So if you;re reading a hard back there's no way you can get full coverage across the pages. But anyway, I stuck with it (never one to waste something) until less than 2 months later the batteries died on me! And these are not nice little AA or AAA batteries ladies and gents, these are weird and wonderful expensive little round batteries.
Well that was the end of it for me. I'm not going to keep ploughing money into something that's a total waste of space. I will say though, that the similar-looking version I had of this (all silver) was very good, so don't be confused between the two if you see the other somewhere about!
Not all that good, really...
Within a week of purchase, the clip had loosened to the extent that it would no longer grip onto a book. Within a month, the batteries had gone. There are much better products on the market for very little more money.
