Review of Zelco Rubberneck Clip Light

Customer Ratings:

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.

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.

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!

Very nice and handy product, I whish the light was little bit more and brighter.

Difficult to turn on. You squeeze the "light", and it takes quite a squeeze in just the right place. Probably OK for a man, but I would not buy it again.
