Overall, the Energizer book light does its job and has a lot of nice features: inexpensive, rated 30-hour battery life, the flexible neck puts light where you want it, lifetime warranty, and the smooth plastic clip doesn't damage your books. Where it's not quite perfect is that the single LED projects a hot spot in the middle and then fades out to the edges, even on an average-sized paperback. So I sometimes find myself twisting the light when reading facing pages, or bouncing the hot spot off my abdomen. But all in all, not a bad light if you want to go unplugged. The two CR2032 batteries will cost you about $4 to replace, and mine have lasted for more than 30 hours...and still going.

What this booklight has going for it is that it's cheap and lightweight (although there are lights that will fold up smaller, while this one just kind of flops around when you try to pack it--but it's small enough that you can pretty much just stuff it wherever). Another plus is that the clip is gentle enough for paperback books.

There are two problems with this light. First, it's not very bright except for in the very center, meaning that it requires constant adjustment even on a small mass market paperback. Second, the gooseneck is loose enough that it refuses to stay in one place. I found myself having to actually hold the light in place with one hand.

Verdict: This light is cheap, but it's a pain to use. I'm looking for a replacement.

This is by far the best booklight ever. I use it for my kindle and have found that it is the only booklight that lights up the whole "page"! The soft-flex arm makes it easy to reposition with out kinking the arm!

Honest reviews on LED Reading Light, Energizer Trim Flex, Uses 2 3V Lithium Coin

There are two problems with this light, and for me they are "deal breakers."

One, the light is too focused and does not cover the page, so you have to keep moving it as you go down a page. This is unlike the Mighty Bright light that I bought as Asia Books in Thailand.

Two, the clip is designed so that when you use it, the two sides of the clip do not come flush to the surface of the pages, so that the point of contact is VERY SMALL; this makes it insecure on the page.

I got the Might Bright light because this one was too frustrating, mainly because of the narrow focus of the light.

The light I ordered in the picture was not the light I got. The new one is too bulky. I liked the old style better.
