Customer Rating:      Summary: Poorly Designed Comment: This book light has two major design flaws. The first and the most critical is that while illuminating the pages the light also shines directly into your eyes. This is because there is no backing on the exposed light. It is a major nuisance.
The second design flaw has to do with the fact that the clip is part of the back of the battery cover so if you push to hard while putting the light in place the whole back cover comes off and your batteries spill out.
There are much better book lights out there. Pass on this one.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Poor book light.. choose something else Comment: As one viewer noted, the light isn't shaded on top. Thus, when you attach it to your book, it illuminates the page but also shines back up into your eyes. Very poor design. I'll end up replacing it as it is useless for the intended purpose.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Battery Eater Comment: Works just fine on new batteries. Goes through them about every 2 hours of use. Spend the extra money and buy an LED book light!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not awful, but not that great either. Comment: This is my 3rd booklight now... and I will be soon buying my fourth.
My criteria for a booklight are that it needs to illuminate the crossword page in the newspaper, and doesn't disturb my wife when she's trying to sleep.
This light works fine when the batteries are new, and it's very bright. I've found that it does drain batteries (non-rechargeables) very quickly however (after just a few hours of use), and the light flickers becomes increasingly dim. The light also flickers a lot when you move it around or adjust the arm. Also the design of the light fixture means that it produces a lot of ambient light (disturbing aforementioned wife). It would be better with one side shaded.
Customer Rating:      Summary: constant flicker Comment: Don't waste your money--- this constantly flickers, very unstable. GO for a higher priced bet better made product.
