Customer Reviews
I love this tiny light.
This light is small and compact, lights the page fine. I love how small and light weight it is. Easy to toss in a purse and use on car rides (when you are the passenger, of course!) All my other book lights are huge and bulky and gobble up batteries.
Best Light for your $$
I looked at several different models of the portable book light and came home with this mini clip-on Cyclop. It's small but the LED bulb gives off quite a bright light considering the size. Plus, it's a clean 'white' light (as opposed to the yellow light you get from fluorescent bulbs). This is great for the eyes. What's more, this is so lightweight, it works with small paperbacks! My only complaint, and the reason I didn't give it '5' stars, is that I'm worried the batteries won't last as long (these lithium batteries can be costly to replace). I had hoped to get something which uses rechargeable batteries.
Ok, but not great
I recently bought two of these, one for me, one for my partner. Both of us are late night paperback readers, and most little lights that contain batteries are too heavy for one-handed reading, so I had great hopes for this with its lithium battery. After 10 nights of use we came to similar conclusions: the LED isn't focused by any kind of reflector so the light goes both up and down or to both sides -- not a problem in itself, but the short neck doesn't allow the reader to arch the light sufficiently to get coverage all the way down the page. Thus, the upper half of each page has good coverage, but the lower half is dim. I guess we'll have to keep looking.
