Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ritelite LPL792XLB 5-LED Computer and Book Light, MetalCustomer Review: Great multi-purpose unit that provides great task lighting. Summary: 4 Stars
I bought a Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Clip-On Light (Black, Kindle Version) a 2 years ago to use with my Kindle and had been disappointed with that light from the very beginning as the light it provided was very "blue" hued and did not provide enough brightness for me to read without eye strain at night. I finally broke down and bought Ritelite LPL792XLB 5-LED Computer and Book Light, Metal to replace it and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner!
When I was shopping for a new light last week, there were many that were less expensive. However, I noticed that this light works not only with a battery pack for use reading, but also detaches from that battery pack so you can plug it into your laptop or netbook via the USB port to get great directional task lighting. In fact, amazon sells the USB only version of this light: Ritelite LPL792 5-LED Computer Light, Metal for not much less. I think having the option to charge this light via AAA batteries and effectively go "wireless" with it is great.
In terms of design, I can only find one drawback. The battery pack attachment has a slot where you can slide the cover of a book through it in order to hang the light for viewing. The light is really too heavy to do this effectively with a paperback book. This slot also means that there is no clip to use to attach the light to other surfaces such as desk or table ledges. The 5 on-board LED lights provide a great pool of light that is fully adjustable by the flexible arm of the unit. There are 2 settings though there isn't much difference between them. There are 5 blue dots that glow on the top of the unit that may bother some users. An easy fix for this is to just place a piece of tape over them so that their soft glow isn't shining up at you.
