Summary: 5 Stars
I frequently read at night and in bed, and my room has poor lighting to read by, so when buying the Kindle I knew I'd need a light. This device definitely fills that role.
The light easily clips onto the kindle cover, and I was able to turn it on with both lights and have no glare on the kindle screen. Maybe I got lucky, or I'm just not as sensitive to the glare as others who have reviewed this have been. Either way, the light works perfectly to illuminate the Kindle screen in the darkness.
Update (4/1, but no jokes!): Clipping the light onto the cover and holding the Kindle and cover open like a book (empty cover on left, kindle on right) allows me to raise the light "head" high enough so the light shines down from the top of the kindle. This way there is absolutely no glare on the screen.
The base of the light is large, allowing the light to be used in a free-standing mode. I can see this being useful for all sorts of different uses, though for me, it's only use will be for the Kindle.
Customer Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just purchased 20 reading lights to function as subtle stand lights for a musical ensemble I am in, and am so far very pleased. The additional cost for the batteries was a bit much (imagine purchasing 60 AAA batteries, since each light takes three), but I'm relieved that even after multiple shows and rehearsals, we are still on the first set of batteries.
The quality of the light is excellent, as well. The light is sufficient for reading, and casts a wide -- but specific -- ray of light, meaning that it will not bother nearby sleepers, or in our case, audience members. It is convenient that the light has two settings.
The Mighty Bright attaches well to a book or music stand and is far more compact than most stand lights. I would not recommend, however using wire stands without a folder to support the light.
The construction is sound and of good quality parts. If the longevity of the light proves to be what the other reviews say, I will be extremely pleased, but not surprised.
Customer Review: Best Book Light I've Ever Used
Summary: 5 Stars
For Christmas everyone in our family received one of these terrific book lights as a stocking stuffer, and they all get used a lot. The unit is compact and very lightweight. Almost all of the weight comes from the 3 AAA batteries, which seem to last for about a month if you're reading for an hour or two before going to sleep each night - maybe 30 hours reading time if you're using both LED bulbs all the time. The infinitely flexible neck allows you to position the light EXACTLY where YOU want it, although the even, wide light pattern means you won't have to be too picky about it. The clip will work on paperback books, hardback books, or you can even clip the light to the headboard of your bed! The LED bulbs give off a cooler light than normal incandescent bulbs, so the light seems a little more "blue" than "yellow", which surprised me a bit at first, but I quickly got used to it. We love our Mighty Brights and we already need to buy a replacement since we accidentally left one behind when we came home from a trip!Customer Review: Excellent light !!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best light I have ever tried. It is exceptional in the fact it has a dual light that can give you the option of a great amount of light and even brighter light. The neck is just the right length, so you can adjust it in any position, so people that say they see the glare on their Kindle just need to adjust slightly higher or to the side and the problem is solved. The neck also stays in place and does not move around on you after you adjust it, which was a problem with the previous light I had. The stiffer metal type lightweight coil neck handles that well. The amount of light is spectacular. We blew a fuse yesterday than left my husband screaming for a flashlight. I was already reading with the MightyBright and brought it too him. He was amazed he could see everything in the fuse closet with this small light. A definate must have. I have used it for several days and have not needed to change the batteries. I think I will order another one just to have on hand. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.
