Customer Review: When the lights go out, there's Mighty Bright!
Summary: 5 Stars
Know what is as essential in my luggage as prescriptions or deodorant? My book light! A book light is essential to a reader, or at least to me.
Whenever I go overnight or longer, my book light is packed. I don't sleep at night as most people, especially in "strange" places. So I rummage, actually, no, I don't rummage, I always know where exactly where I packed my book and my light, and slip off to the bathroom, get comfy on the bathmat and read until I get sleepy. I don't need to turn on any lights because my book light points the way. In another place I can go to the living room and snuggle in a chair, clip on the light, and read away. Last time I stayed at my mother's I tip-toed into her walk-in closet, found comforters, and read away. She's used to me.
But the best reason for a book light is when the lights go out as they are wont to do during thunderstorms or ice storms. My book light and a flash light are right in the drawer next to my bed. There are two other flashlights stashed around the house. Find one, light candles, go to bed, and read. I used to fret and fume over the electricity snapping out. No more.
In case the LED lights go out, I bought two replacement bulbs. I also own three other styles of book lights, but Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light,Silver is the best of all. It has double LED lights, but only one is necessary. I need bright light to really see to read and this product meets my demand. Plus, the graceful curve of the neck and the sophistication of the silver make this an attractive product. It also comes in lime, purple, and bold blue. Take the clip at the bottom, snap it onto the back cover of the book and several pages for stability, click on the light, once or twice for your brightness, and enter that other world.
Customer Review: Amazingly Bright and Long Battery Life
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had the Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light for well over a year now, and I absolutely love it! I'm able to attach it to a book or to my Kindle (version 1).
The Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light is also available in the following colors: Blue, Black, Green, and Pink.
Pros
----
- VERY BRIGHT White Light
- Two Brightness Settings
(1) On the brighter setting, it uses both of its LED lights; (2) on the dimmer setting, it uses only one.
- Phenomenal Battery Life
The book light requires 3 AAA batteries to operate. My book light provides 15-20 hours of light before the light STARTS to be noticeably dimmer. The book light can provide about 35 - 40 hours of usable light before I have to replace the batteries (I use 1000 mAH AAA rechargeable batteries).
- Flexible Gooseneck
The gooseneck is extremely flexible; it can be twisted or bent in any direction, so I am able to adjust the height and direction of the light with total ease. It comes in very handy for directing the light on the verso or recto as needed as you're reading.
- Compact and Lightweight
With a book in hand, I hardly feel the weight of the book light when it is clipped onto the book.
- Rugged and Durable
The book light is well-made and has a rugged casing.
Cons
---
None. I honestly can't think of any!
The Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light is both attractive and functional. Plus, it is very affordable and reasonably priced. You really can't go wrong with this one!
Customer Review: Great Gift Idea
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a purple light with the adaptor. My main desire was to use it to read during my morning carpool commute to work. I loved this product so much that I bought three as gifts and am ready to buy one more.
There are three versions of this light offered for sale. One is just the light. One includes an adaptor. One includes batteries. The light does require 3 AAA batteries if the adaptor is not being used. I've found it available in blue, green, silver, black, purple and pink. There is also a Kindle version.
I have been using this light for over a month and am still using the same batteries. I have yet to use the adaptor. The batteries are more convenient for me. I had purchased rechargable batteries and a charge but haven't broken into them yet.
There are two lights on this product and three light settings. The left, right or both lights can be used. The neck is flexible so that it is easy to move to a position that actually sheds light on the entire page (if not two pages). It is bright. My husband still complains when I read in bed with it...however, it doesn't bother my carpool driver.
The clip is large and will easily attach to hardcovers. I usually clip it to the top of the pages that I've already read. When reading mass market paperbacks, I try to clip it to as large of a hunk of pages as possible because I don't like the light to move around.
A very useful product. Make sure to buy only what you need. As I did pay extra for an adaptor and just don't use it at all.
Customer Review: Provides more than enough bright lighting when reading a Kindle 3
Summary: 5 Stars
This XtraFlex2 is an awesome light for use with the kindle 3. It provides ample lighting when reading in dimly lit to pitch black rooms. Real briefly i'll go over the PROS and CONS (for me)
PROS: 2 light settings, uses 3 AAA batteries (easily replaced), VERY bright - including lower light setting, VERY smooth adjustment of the "neck" of the light, handy clip which is HUGE, but can clip to a lot of things (i.e. camping chairs, headboard of bed) and has a STABLE BASE for which it can sit independently on the bed, on your stomach when laying in bed, on the nightstand when laying in bed,
CONS: It IS pretty large in relation to the kindle 3 (especially the clip) though it does have foam on the clip so it doesn't scratch. I place it on the kindle if needed, though prefer to clip it onto myself or on an object near where I'm reading OR just let it sit on my bed when reading at night.
I really wish that this bright of a light with the adjustable neck could be placed on that kindle lighted cover, however that's just wishful thinking. I JUST purchased the orange lighted leather kindle cover which I'll make a review for once I use it. I definitely like the xtraflex2 and will continue to use it/keep it, but I DO also like to spoil myself with accessories (or MAN-cessories) - especially for my electronics, so I'm splurging on the lighted cover.
Despite the CONS, I still give this light 5 stars because it's awesome, functional, and gets the job done WELL
Customer Review: Best Reading Light I've Ever Owned
Summary: 5 Stars
The Mighty Bright is far and away the best reading light I have ever owned. All of the other ones I have tried have failed me in one way or another. Some weren't bright enough, some had an awful battery life, most never seem to position the way I want, and others just didn't clip to the book securely. This light is the best I've found at all four!
* The selectable dual-LED light is fantastic. Personally, I find that just using one light is more than enough for me, but those wanting even more light can turn them both on. The LEDs provide a clean, even source of light without a lot of glare.
* I bought mine at the end of August for use with the new Kindle. I have not had to change the 3 AAA batteries yet and I use mine for at least 30-60 minutes a night. Can't beat the battery life!
* I am able to position the light's adjustable neck in any position I'd like. I move around a lot when I read and find that sometimes I like the light directly overhead, sometimes to the side, and sometimes closer than others. The neck is easily moved to all of these positions AND STAYS THERE.
* If there was on negative to the light, the battery compartment is larger than most. It does make for a sturdier clip, though, and I have attached mine to a hardcover book, mass market paperback, and my Kindle case. The clip is too large to attach to a standard 3rd generation Kindle without a case.
