Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Light - Silver

If you plan to use this light (or any light, very likely) with the Kindle, you will find a problem with "spotlighting." The Kindle's screen is just reflective enough to cause a bright splash across the page when a book light is pointed directly at it. It's impossible to read through the brightness. This book light has a goose neck, so it can be used successfully if you angle it a bit, so that only the edge of the circle of light illuminates the page. The drawback is that the light is no longer as local, and may disturb those around you if you are using the light to read at night.

They should've invented these things a long time ago! No need to use the crappy light in an airplane, this light is much more convenient!

Before purchasing the Mighty Bright book light in silver, I wanted to know if it could clip to paperback books, which, after reading the reviews, I found that, yes, it can clip to paperback books. However, the main thing I wanted to know was if someone could use it without disturbing his or her partner trying to fall asleep. Based on the reviews, I found that no one had any complaints of this kind. This was a first-time purchase of a product like this for me. I bought it for my boyfriend because he likes to read in bed at night, while I'm trying to go to sleep. I'm so impressed with this product! He used it for the first time last night, and I was able to fall asleep without even knowing it was on or when he turned it off. For anyone who says they have to read in bed because they can't read in the room with distractions like the TV, computer, or video games, and YOU want some restful sleep, buy Mighty Bright!

I bought one of these for my wife and one for my daughter and they have been huge hits. I have tried several other book lights and this is probably the best overall one I've found. I only wish it was slightly brighter since after my lasik my night vision is not as good as it used to be and more reading light is required. My wife and daughter both think the Xtra Flex puts out plenty of light.

If they ever come out with a 4 LED verion of the Xtra Flex however I'll be on it like white on rice.

The XtraFlex2 LED book light is light years (no pun intended) better than the old itty-bitty-type lights that used incandescent bulbs.

The XtraFlex2 gets great battery life, unlike the the itty-bittys, which I found went through batteries like crazy. Of course, the LED "bulbs" don't burn out like the itty-bitty blubs (and the XtraFlex2 doesn't heat up from its bulbs, either). The XtraFlex2's integrated battery pack is also great; no getting tangled up in a cord while you're in bed.

I stumbled on the XtraFlex2 at my local Borders. They had a bunch of them in a display when the final Harry Potter book was published (presumably figuring that a lot of kids, little and big, were going to be doing a lot of reading in bed...). The leftovers were sold at half price, a real bargain. I bought one, tried it out, loved it, and went back to buy several more for use as gifts (and spares).
