Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fulcrum Multi-Flex LED Task Light, Silver
Customer Review: As a Heavy USER of NIGHT LIGHTS, (in bed) I KNOW the difference.
Summary: 5 Stars
Just went to replace my 5 year old Fulcrum Multi-Flex LED Task Light, Silver-and some how the seach engines took me to the land of the Mighty Brights.
I wrote a review on the MB called: "Could have been a '5 star'." --having used the Fulcrum Multi-Flex LED Task Light, Silver---for soooo many years!
I will highlight it hear why I love THIS light:
ON/OFF Click Switch (used it so many times wore the silver paint off to the red undercoating) The light will not TURN ON and run down your batteries as would a soft touch press switch on the Mighty Bright. It's no fun, when you look in a knap sack and see the light ON, for gosh knows how many hours!) Love the FULCRUM, never a problem with it's industrial style ON/Off Switch.
Balance with the Goose Neck. Perfect balance with the bulb head. I have done 180s and tied knots with this cord connection over the 5 years and still good-electrical connection and the bulb head is supported and balanced.
Price. Very good. Buy 3, give on to a friend. I did.
Thanks for reading.

Customer Review: Amazing booklight
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this to replace my old light, which was flimsily built, had a non-flexing "flex neck", and had just recently flickered then died (with a good battery). This light is excellent. It uses an optic to evenly distribute light over the entire page. If you move the light up as far as it goes, it will illuminate pretty much any size book (Guiness world records, etc). The flex neck works fine, and stays in exactly the position you put it in. This is the best I've found, regardless of price.
The switch works fine, but I wish it could be tighter. It is a slide switch over the LED. No flickering or failure yet, but it is annoying that there is maybe 5mm of wiggle room before you move the switch mechanism.
I also wish it used coin cells. That's the one thing I miss from my old light - the smaller size. However, I haven't had any problems with the weight while reading, and for many its 3 AAA batteries would be a bonus because of their price.
I've only had this product for around a week, so I can't comment on how long it lasts.
Customer Review: Terrible!
Summary: 1 Stars
I am very disappointed with this light. It is bright enough, but it has a blue cast (I think that's the LED) that really casts a strange light on what you are looking at. My biggest complaint though, is that it creates a shiny reflection on whatever it is over, including books and notebook paper! Moving it farther away and closer, or angling it from the side or straight down, does not help, it's the stark quality of the light itself. It literally makes it difficult to see what you are looking at. Waste of money. I have other booklights in a range of qualities, but none that put a cold, bluish shine on whatever you are looking at. I much prefer the softer light of a standard bulb (or standard booklight), even if it is less bright.
In fairness I will add that the quality of the item itself seems fine, the neck is flexible and long enough to direct in a number of positions.
Still, if you are doing anything but knitting (could it reflect off of yarn?), this is not recommended.
Customer Review: A bit of overkill-reading a book, not performing neurosurgery
Summary: 4 Stars
The good
1. Lightweight even with the batteries in.
2. Super flexible neck-positions smoothly and stays in position
3. Bright light-reeeaaallly bright
The slightly annoying
1. The light is so bright and disperses in such a wide cone it's annoying to a partner sharing a bed or a fellow passenger on a plane seated next to you.
2. Not dinging the rating for this, but no doubt there will be people like me who purchased this for some kindle reading. It works beautifully with the e-ink but is (obviously) not compatible with the slots that come in some cases. Which is fine. It just clips to the cover instead.
3. It's obvious from the picture, but this light is obviously not great for travel. It doesn't fold into anything more compact.
It's still a great product for a fantastic, unbeatable price, but wow there is such a thing as too bright. Happy reading!
Customer Review: Lights up your book!
Summary: 5 Stars
You sit down on your nice comfortable chair with a drink in one hand and a book in the other hand. You are excited to read that great book and go on a reading "adventure". You put the drink down and open your book when all of a sudden...there isn't enough light in the room. You end up squinting trying to read the words on the page, only to get a headache from squinting for so long. This makes you annoyed so you close the book and put it away. This was my case. So I had to buy something to light up my pages.
This book light is great. It conveniently clips on to your book and lights up the pages for you. The upper body of the light adjusts so you can move it any way you like for better lighting. This is also a great way to save electricity, so you don't have to keep your light on for hours while reading. This is a great light for all you book lovers. And now I can enjoy my book without the headache!
