Buy this light
I'm puzzled by the rave reviews I'm reading. I see one referring to using 3 AAA batteries but this is too small for even 1 and in fact uses the 2025 battery which is tiny. It won't hold position on a book and the light casts shadows and makes the book unreadable. It effectively illuminates about a paragraph. Useless. It's simply a cheaply designed and manufactured light. It's the kind of thing I expect to find in a 99 cent store. I'm sending it back. Very disappointed. ***UPDATE*** It's a hassle returning it since for God knows what reason it's classified as hazardous and it's difficult to contact the vendor. I've been buying from Amazon for years and this is a first. A hazardous book light. ***UPDATE 2*** Refund has been processed. ***UPDATE3*** Vendor sent a replacement light with a supply of battery's stating that they had shipped the wrong model the first time. The replacement does indeed take 3 AAA battery's as stated by other reviewers and is a quantum leap beyond the first one sent. It lights very well & is solid. It's what I expected the first time & is the best book light I've ever seen. High marks to Ahdorma2014 for correcting the mistake without being asked. Excellent customer service & a quality product warrants a modification to 5 stars. Mistakes happen.

Didn't produce enough light for my music stand. Unless ...
Didn't produce enough light for my music stand. Unless I'm clamping it on wrong or there is something wrong with the light, this was not adequate for the task. Still straining to read in the dark with this "clip on lamp."

Doesn't work well . . .
The distance between the clip on this product and the optimal light source is a non-fit. You cannot clip the light to a page you are reading and have enough length to twist the light to your page.

Light comes out of tip instead of under side so it doesn't even shine on the book

Difficult to use.
The light is very hard to angle correctly to light a book or magazine. I have tried all kinds of angles and different places to clip it on. Honestly it is a shame because it puts out quite a bit of nice white light. The only place we have successfully clipped this was to the top of our heads and ending at our forehead! My son and I look like a weirdos but hey, whatever works. No such luck for my bald husband though! I would try and find something that will clip to the book or pillow and angle correctly. The light also does not hold in the position you bend or move it to which adds to the difficulty.

good light
One of the best things about this light is that it clips well on book. It has a movable end that fastens securely onto the page. I find it most frustrating to have continually fuss with the light position and this one does not move. It has 2 settings, on a bit brighter than the first. The first one is bright enough for me, just right for highlighting the page. The long goose neck give plenty of versatility. It seems to be well made to last long. I like it. I gave it 4 stars because I want to see how long the batteries last (3 triple A, not incl. so make certain to have some on hand so you can use the your light right away.) its a good light for a reasonable price.

Pretty good product!
Works good. I could use a brighter light, but I got this one free with a coupon. Clips easy to my book.
