Tools and Hardware Reviews of Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Book Light - Purple
Customer Review: Could Have been a '5 Star'.
Summary: 2 Stars
Ok let's get to it:
I spend 5 years using a Fulcrum Multi-Flex LED Task Light, Silver- so I KNOW reading lights, and the FULCRUM took a beating of trips and experiences-the silver paint came off on the switch showing the red undercoating-SO YOU KNOW I USED IT A LOT. AMAZING device. But-I wanted to replace it, and forgeting what I ordered over 5 years ago...I ended up in the search engine world of MIGHTY BRIGHT (sp) and since I was in a rush-ordered the double light MB after reading the glorius Amazon reviews. (In that amount of time, I assumed technology had simply run overtop my FUCLCRUM with super powers. It hadn't.
1) The Mighty bright is a GREAT LIGHT with intensity settings. We know that.
2) Problem one. It has a soft push ON/OFF switch. And THAT is IT's undoing. If you travel with the light, in bags or suitcases or knapsacks, any pressure at all, WILL TURN the LIGHT ON, and there unless you happen to catch it, goes your battery life!!
OUCH! Suddenly, your mighty brite isn't so mighty when you go to use it next, unless, you have batteries near by, which most people don't.
On the cheaper one light (Fulcrum Multi-Flex LED Task Light, Silver) you have the old fashioned CLICK switch for the ON/OFF and it takes a CLICK from you to engage the battery life. Many times while using the Fulcurm, I didn't like the hassle of making a click for on, vs a soft push, but after seeing the Might Brite ON in one of my travel bags--eeeek ...I wish for the old fashioned CLICK switch. Now if you just keep the light in your bedside drawer, this may never be an issue for you, but if you are a road warrior like myself and travel alot-you better travel with 3 extra AAA's or you will have NO LITE.
3) Problem two. The Goose Neck. YIKES. Nice when new, it degrades quickly in motion.
One reviewer mentioned the problem and I didn't beleive it. Well, now I do. You can work around it by being patient and using balance, but it is a flaw, and should be stated.
In comparison to the goose neck on the single light Fulcrum--well, let me say, I could tie knots with the goose neck and it would STILL work and keep its motion and nice connection to the bulbhead.
4) A wee bit pricey compared to the Fulcrum, is the the Mighty Brite. Granted you do get that extra luminosity for larger books but it is a trade off.
Conclusion: The Mighty Brite could have been a 5 star, but although it is a very nice light-it does have some serious flaws. I would give nice lights as gifts, as I love people who read, and don't like people reading in the dark. I would have to say the Fuclrum wins handsdown, because if you don't have battery life you don't have a light.
