Customer Review: Not Kindle-specific, but works great all the same
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned this light for a couple of months now and can say it's an incredible value for money.
I have to admit that I was expecting something tailored to the Kindle since it was listed as a Kindle accessory. However, this is a "generic" light- there is nothing about it's construction that makes it any more or less suitable than other reading lights. In other words, if you already own a reading light and are ordering a Kindle/Kindle 2, don't feel like you need this- your light will probably work just fine.
That said, if you don't currently own a book light go ahead and order this. It does its job wonderfully! Two brightness settings offer a little customisation while the LED makes battery life amazing (I'm still on my first set!). The neck is fully bendable, and retains the position you put it in.
This device is also somewhat of a multitasker. I use it as my bedside flashlight to get up and move around the house at night. It lights my way perfectly while keeping a tight beam so as not to disturb others. I actually clip it to the waistband of my pajamas and walk around with it like my own personal headlight!
All in all you realy can't go wrong considering the price. If you don't already own a book light, I highly recommend this one!
Customer Review: A Kindle Sometimes Needs Light, This is the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is yet another summary of this product's practical features.
For a Kindle with its designed cover or a hardback book this is an excellent product. The weight and size of the clip used to hold the batteries and the device to the book will not work with paperback books. Do not even think about it.
Kindle's cover is not very well designed. If you add a couple of Velcro strips to the right side of the Kindle at slightly below center and at the bottom right corner, the problems with it sliding out of its cover and easy access to its switches is solved.
Adding the weight of a Mighty Bright to a Kindle cover without Velcro strips is not something I have tried, but cannot imagine working well.
The light head of the Mighty Bright is very bright and the neck it is connected to is extremely flexible, allowing a lighting to screen without glare reading experience.
While the three triple A batteries add a lot of relative weight to the clip of this device, they provide a long life, that is inexpensive and convenient to replace.
If you want the convenience to read anywhere you need light. In my opinion if a Kindle needs light this is one of the best devices to get it there.

Customer Review: Aptly named, good reading light
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this light for my daughter, who I frequently catch with a book and a flashlight under her covers after bed time. I tried it out myself (in the dark) and can report that it has a lot of good attributes that are perfect for light-assisted reading.
- It is light-weight, but does not feel fragile.
- The batteries are common and are easy to change.
- The spring clamp holds tightly to a group of pages. It doesn't fall off or slide when turned upside-down.
- The wire neck also holds its position perfectly. It's very easy to adjust and stays precisely in place.
- The two-setting light is bright (on both settings) and a clean white color.
My two suggestions for improvement would be, first, to have a third LED in the head that is not a super LED and would put out less light. My eyes can adapt very well to the dark and both of the current settings are more than enough. And second, to increase the lever portion of the spring clamp a little so it is easier to de-clamp from the book. It has an odd feel since the lever end is almost right over the hinge/fulcrum.
Neither of these things are enough to detract from the fact that this is an excellent product and deserves a five star rating.
Customer Review: The Mighty Bright Is A Mighty Fine Light
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried a significant number of book lights over years, and each and every one has had major problems. Either they were awkward to use, too dim, focused the light in the wrong location, were too heavy, drained the batteries too quickly, or had too much glare. The MIGHTY BRIGHT XTRAFLEX2 CLIP-ON LIGHT solves all these problems. My husband purchased the MIGHTY BRIGHT specifically for me to use with my Kindle 2, but it also works beautifully on paperback and hardback books. The MIGHTY BRIGHT XTRAFLEX2 CLIP-ON LIGHT uses regular AAA batteries, has a nice wide clip that stays put, is light weight, and has two settings brightness settings. I find the low setting to be more than sufficient for standard reading. The dual LED lights wash the entire page in a diffuse light, rather "spot-lighting" a small portion as so many other book lights do. It is gentle on the eyes, easy to use, and the flexible neck can be bent into any position that works for you. Additionally, the AAA batteries seem to last quite a long time. If you are looking for a light that lets you read in bed without disrupting your spouse or significant other, then the MIGHTY BRIGHT XTRAFLEX2 CLIP-ON LIGHT is the book light for you. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.Customer Review: Mighty little light
Summary: 5 Stars
I read a lot, often in unusually/unconventional places and getting an adequate amount of light for me is always an issue. Mighty Bright book light resolves most of my problems, as it is both a convenient an inexpensive way of obtaining more light wherever I end up reading. The two LED light bulbs provide enough light and are quite adequate for even the darkest room. The switch button is conveniently located at the top of the light where it can be easily reached. It can be turned on by a slightest touch, which means that you don't have to readjust the book light's position each time you turn it on or off. One can use the same switch to switch between using one or both of the light bulbs. The neck for this book light is sturdy yet very flexible and adjustable. It can be positioned in a virtually infinite number of configurations. The base at a first sight seemed bulky, but after using it for a while it turned out to be unobtrusive. It uses three AAA batteries and because of its size it can double as a stand when one is positioning the light on a flat surface. The clip can be used to attach this light to a book of almost any size. Overall, this is a vary useful and well designed product. It sets a standard for book lights.
