Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Light (Silver)Customer Review: This is my 5th book light and the best one so far Summary: 5 Stars
I've been putting it to light use (hee hee) for over a month now and there's no defects so far.
I have 5 book lights and it took that many to figure out what a good (printed) book light should do.
This Mighty Bright Extraflex 2 meets the criteria:
1) Has to have a decent brightness and spread. My other lights had to constantly be adjusted and focused on each page, and again for top and bottom of each page. That's 4 adjustments for every page turn - way too much fiddling with the light and too distracting from the act of reading. If anything, it may be a bit too bright for reading in bed next to a sleeping significant other - but no complaints so far. The two settings allow you to dim the light a bit, but I'd like a dimmer option. Some of the new Mighty Bright models actually have a dimmer so you fine-tune to the brightness you want, but I haven't tried those yet - they're next.
2) Has to use regular everyday batteries (AAAs preferred). The other lamps required expensive button cells or lithium batteries and I've spent several times the cost of those lamps on batteries alone. And button cells are harder to find too. Too much hassling with the batteries. Rechargeable AAAs are available so this solves the battery problem. I'd prefer it only use 2 AAAs instead of 3. Then the base would be smaller and not so heavy, but this has only been a minor problem.
3) Has to be reasonably small and sturdy, and clamp well. The bulk is a little more than I'd like (thickness), but not too bad either. It packs away OK, but it is a bit long and spindly so it might need a small box to transport it in. I've had to cover the on/off button with an small plastic bottle over the lamp to keep it from turning itself on in the backpack.
Overall, it's the best I've found (for printed books) and the price is lower (at Frys or Mighty Bright) than some others.
Description of Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Light (Silver)The Mighty Bright 40512 XtraFlex2 Book Light excels equally as a book, craft or utility light. It features two LEDs which makes it the brightest with a single gooseneck design. Bright, yes, but the non-glaring glow makes for a comfortable reading and work light. This booklight lets you set the intensity by pressing the button once or twice and you can clip and twist it to set the perfect angle, the gooseneck obeys your every whim.
