Summary: A great light but way too expensive
This is a great little light for any kind of reading, including the Kindle. However, it is far too expensive! After some searching, you can use the same kind of light for € 10.00 receive whereas with postage costs 28 $. Look around!

Summary: Best reading light I've ever used

After years with a variety of reading lights, I found a finally, that everything you do not want. It lights up my Kindle DX perfect! The light is not too bright or too dark.

The large handles on the frame without touching the Kindle screenie tried Mighty Bright but the only way to secure it was to get it on the screen clip. Yikes!

It is beautifully designed and very robust. The head locks in the clip, if you do not.

The bonus was included, it came with batteries and an extra set of batteries.

I love it. I think I might buy the black too.

Enjoy.

Summary: Bright and flexible - extra batteries are a treat!
The neck is flexible and the clip did not mar my Kindle case. The light stares something on the screen. The extra batteries are great, but I'm not sure how long it will take the original. All every one, it's not a bad light, but not much either.

Summary: Bummer light

I have as this light with the Kindle birthday present. The person who told me not that I have the Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 even when reading at night, when my husband can not sleep. I have tried to use it in the last few days to give it a shot, as perhaps it would be better than my current book light. Potential buyers please listen to a person who has really tried to light every book out there. This light is not very good. Although it is better than some had one I tried, it is still so far behind some others, including the Mighty Bright light. This light has only a single level of lighting and although for the first 4 hours of it bright, it started to get dimmer and dimmer in the next few hours. It has come with batteries, but what will happen the next 4 hours? I would then have to button cell batteries to search. They are expensive. AAA batteries are cheaper and more available in my drawer, or just when you travel. The clip is easy to open, but it is HUGE on the Kindle. Looks really bad.

Summary: Can Read in The Dark
This is a handy light to have, and it does a good job of illuminating the reading corner. The only thing I've found that I am not satisfied with the fact that I am a little bit of a "sham" on my screen when the light. I can read in the brightest light and no glare or reading problems, but when I clip the light on, and I'm on the porch reading, smoking and drinking Starbucks, I see a glow that I think I have to either read around, "or reclip the light.

I'm still experimenting with proper placement of the light, but all in all, worth the money, and I am able to read in bed now (without the cat or the dog as if). Thank you for reading my post.

Summary: Clip dented my Kindle cover!
I like the design of this light is good enough - (the light in the bracket, which means you can be attached to place it in a pocket or whatever). In addition, the gooseneck has a lot of options for positioning of the light.

However, the clip has two bits, at its inner side, and a relatively strong spring. This resulted in coverage in an undesirable dent in my M-Edge. If your plan is to light directly on the Kindle, a paper clip or something else to stare, you are probably okay, but if you attach it to a softer cover to guard.

I will also echo the reviewers who pointed out that the battery life is not great. I have not used this light, it's often seen (because of the problems), and it is much more turbid than when I bought it. Yes, it came with a spare battery ... but I have no idea what I did with him!

Summary: excelent but not perfect
This light is very bright, clip on the Kindle with no problem, and the gooseneck is easy to use. I agree with others that the clip is perfect for the Kindle (it's a bit too big, and it is round) and would be a dimmer improvement. Also AAA batteries would be better. Nevertheless, I recommend this light.

Summary: excellent design

I had my doubts after reading the negative reviews about other clip-on lighting. But I was so happy with these accessories. It clips easily to the K-2, does not slip or slide, but instead stays where it has said. The clip does not interfere with the screen at all. Aesthetically, it corresponds to the ignition. The flexible neck is set and is easy to use, without stopping to move the clip. Once you find the best position for you, it stays put - even if I remove it from the Kindle.

The lighting is excellent for about 90% of the screen. The bottom 10-15% kind of fades out, but it has to be submitted no reading of the exhibition. It could be a little bit of gloss on top, but nothing is perfect.

The only complaint I have is the onoff switch is a bit poor has failed. But I can just read for hours without eyestrain in a dimly lit room or at night in bed.

Summary: Great add-on! Much better than booklights
I bought this light b / c I often read at night when my wife is asleep. It is easy to use, seems perfectly designed for the Kindle and provides just the right light for what ever you prefer to view. They also include a couple of spare batteries. I can not think of a better gift for a Kindle user.

Summary: Great fit for reading light for Kindle 2

I have my Kindle 2, as I prefer little light in the evenings and on the vulnerable to headaches. I have noticed any eye strain when reading in total darkness and the light is more than enough. The neck stays in place and it is very easy to adjust when I change position. I am in a position to limit the appearance of the screen, as I clipped it on my cover, it only takes a minute to find the right angle. The 2 LED lights is not hot, and if the battery life is great and I appreciate that the replacement coverage. This is the first reading light I've tried, and over the last few days were very impressed. I have recommended it to my friends that even Kindle, and those who like to read too!

Summary: Great Light

If I look after a reading light with my new Kindle was used, I read all kinds of reports complaining about the different types of lighting. This took the five-star ratings, if they are the only two-star rating in comparison, so I decided to try. Why not? Could I ever again if it did not work out or not what I was looking for. It's perfect. It has a great light and is very bright and shows the entire Kindle. It certainly left hook to my Kindle without a trace, or even touching the screen, I was destroyed a little worried after reading about some of the other lights, the screens of the people. This light is perfect. It is perhaps not the most elegant light compared to some others out there, but it's good quality! I would recommend everyone who is looking after a reading light for your Kindle. I'm so glad I bought them one!

Summary: Great light!
The large spot light flex neck is great. It is very bright and easy to use. It has rubber feet, lest it ignite your new. There are only two things that I do not agree on how ... 1 - I wish there were different settings, such as light and bright. 2 - I wish the clip base was a little smaller. It is a kind of large compared to light the thin. Otherwise it's great for the price!

Summary: Great product (except the light part . . . and the disk batteries . . and the huge clip)

I wanted to like this product.

I bought this product to a LED light, the book is a AAA battery was replaced. The problem I had with my "old" light of the flexible neck connected to short circuit the battery after about a year. What I loved my "old" was the brightness of light - 6 small LED bulbs and two brightness levels. So basically I was looking for a product, not be susceptible to the electrical connection sorry that my old light would experience.

After some research, I bought this light. It is small and sleek look with a cool onoff switch in the top where the lights. The light itself is hard topno compounds contained in the batteries for a few seconds, but a major pain to replace, even if it comes with two spare batteries. The two LED lights are not sufficient for the in total darkness, without even reading while considerable eye strain after a few minutes. There is only a "light" setting on the light, that's okay because it's so dark on full power, you never need a different setting. Even if it is on the top of the Kindle the flexible neck is not long enough to evenly illuminate the entire screen on my Kindle DX attached. To add to my nitpickyness, the large clip on the light is very high profile and sticks way out, if appropriate, my kindle - it somehow ruins the whole sleekergodynamic feeling of light.

If you have a light that 1does expensive batteries to drive 2cranks out much more light - and has brightness levels 3has a lower profile clip, check out the Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Clip-On Light Kindle version. If you have a hard battery retailer in cat-like night vision goggles, you pass on that light.

Summary: I like it!
Call me crazy, but this light is pretty neat. It clips on the Kindle and can be left and the light is decent. I had to play with him to free himself from any appearance, but otherwise I like it ok!

Summary: Love this little light!
I bought this light (violet) at Barnes and Noble. I actually paid about 7 bucks for it! (50 percent) There is a great little light. It is very light and robust. I love the flexible neck and ignite it, I cover on my clip, and it remains in force. I have bought other book is rather obvious, but this is by far the best!

Summary: Need of more light
It would be useful if it can give more light, so you can it a litle more pressure put on the Kindle device. Actually a good light for reading needs to be set very close to the light, ignite, and that makes some thought that tire eyes a little.

Summary: Not a very nice light
First, I can not see why to do this to catch fire ". It is only a commonplace book light. The LED creates a nasty glare on the screen to ignite. The light interferes with my room mate on a business trip, she said it was dazzling, it through space. I handed her the light ... and they stuff it was right! the lights in the annoying way from the side.
The light appears to catch fire before.
I wish I did not buy it.

Summary: Not what I expected from Amazon
I had a book light, but bought one, because I thought it would be better to use with my Kindle. The batteries are already in the unit took about three hours. They Replaced by those present as extras. I hope that they last longer. Have for longer looked for a replacement and they were very expensive. Very disappointed with the quality of this product. Will probably use the one I had, because it has two light function and uses AAA batteries that last a long time. I paid $ 3 for those who have spent the $ 26.00 new and I for one including shipping. Big mistake!

Summary: Perfect for Kindle!

If you are a light for your kindle I recommend the Great Point buy a reading light. This light is perfect! It shall remain in force if they can cut off the neck to be adjusted in any position and provides full coverage. I thought it was a bonus, it came installed with batteries and spare batteries available.

Please do not waste your time and money with other reading light. After buying 3 brands I began to get so frustrated I almost given up! Either it slipped my spark or light is not enough coverage. I spent a lot of time to make the attempt to work them, I had to read tiredfrustrated!

I never thought that I would be so happy about a book light, let alone a recommendation for one! But what I can .... The Great Point say my reading light has further inflamed experience.

I was thrilled to get my Kindle for Christmas this year. This light does not work, the switch is so sensitive it does not, I've replaced the batteries twice a turn, I'll buy a new light from another manufacturer.

Summary: THE PERFECT LIGHT FOR KINDLE 2
I read my Kindle 2 with the lid, so I clip the Great Point Light on it.
I bought it so I could read in the dark, while my husband watches TV or just sleeping.
Also I have a lot (10 long flight hours) and this unit trip proved to be excellent when the lights are turned off and sleep the rest of us.
It is well made and my favorite feature is that it is not bulky or heavy.
The disc battery is a good idea, much better than the heavy regulars.
I buy it here at Amazon, they come in a package of five and the cost with 3.97 shipping.
The design is simple and light itself covers my whole screen, spark (you only need to register with the neck a little bit until you find a place to play, it's comfortable for you).
As the head locks in the clip is easy storage drives so well.
I really hope that my review will help you buy a better one.

Summary: Very Bright Light

I wanted to use this light when reading in bed next to my friend while he watched tv or sleep. Turns out it does my eyes hurt too much to use it. The light has only one setting ... very bright. It is also a glare.

That approach did not play well does not work. I tried to use it, as shown in the picture, and there is a pressure point on my screen Kindle, because they are too long and extends over the frame on the screen.

I got this as a gift to make, so I'm working to make a sheet of paper glued to the light, dimmer and I have to play with the light to be a good place to get it to my Kindle ATTCH without a glare and to keep to go see on my screen.
