great to use with kindle
I bought this light to take on vacation with me to read my kindle. First it travels well. It made it through my travels no problem. My only worry was it getting turned on accidentally in my carry on and draining the battery. With easy to replace AAA batteries I didn't let it get to me. I found my Mighty Bright easy to use. I was able to clip it onto my kindles' cover and adjust the light into a position that worked best. I really like the two stage light brightness. I find myself using it at home and saving on electric light when I'm the only one in the room and don't need the whole room lit up to read. I've never been a fan of these little lights but this one won me over.

Love this light! Perfect for reading paperback or Kindle
I love this item. I originally purchased it to use with my Kindle (which I love by the way). I have been the major caregiver to a family member in hospice care in my home. This light made it very easy to read in low or no light situations while not disturbing the person sleeping in the same room. It gave enough light to read comfortably, yet not enough to light the entire room. This product was perfect for the intended use. In fact I liked it so much I purchased another one to use with paperbacks, and when I showed it to my Mom she borrowed it to take on vacation with her so she could read in the hotel room in bed and not disturb my Dad. She loved it so much I bought her one too! The flexible crook neck is perfect for changing the angle of the light so you never have to worry about a glare. Can't praise it enough - everybody should have one (or two??)!

Best book light for inveterate night owl readers
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).
Available in colors other than green; Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Light - Black, Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light, Silver, Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Book/Craft/Clip-On Light, Pink, Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Dual Book/Craft/Clip-On Light, Purple, and Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light, Blue.

Excllent product!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought three of these in blue (a spare for me and one for my brother) after thoroughly reading all of the comments on competitive brands. I found the comments praising this model to be right on the mark. When I read it lit up both pages at the same time using dual lights where all other brands required constant repositioning for each page, that was all I needed to know this was the best reading light for me.
I can't say enough nice things about this product. It has dual lights on a flex shaft which you can position to fully illuminate both pages of a large hardback book. You wont need to keep moving the light around to light your pages with this one and the pages ar well lit for easy reading in the dark. But the light is centralized on the book and not the surrounding area so others can sleep while you read.
You can also switch from dual lights to a single light. The flexible shaft on the light is sturdy and stable enough to firmly hold its position over the book even while you move around and turn pages. You can either clip it on the cover or use the clip to hold open the pages. It operates on AAA batteries. The higher quality battery, the longer it lasts. I use the Duracell ultra digital batteries with the blue band.
I cannot think of any negatives about this product. I'm not associated with any seller. I am just a customer who was happy to find a great product. Definitely a good buy.
