I bought three of these in blue (a spare for me and one for my brother) after thoroughly reading all of the comments on competitive brands. I found the comments praising this model to be right on the mark. When I read it lit up both pages at the same time using dual lights where all other brands required constant repositioning for each page, that was all I needed to know this was the best reading light for me.
I can't say enough nice things about this product. It has dual lights on a flex shaft which you can position to fully illuminate both pages of a large hardback book. You wont need to keep moving the light around to light your pages with this one and the pages ar well lit for easy reading in the dark. But the light is centralized on the book and not the surrounding area so others can sleep while you read.
You can also switch from dual lights to a single light. The flexible shaft on the light is sturdy and stable enough to firmly hold its position over the book even while you move around and turn pages. You can either clip it on the cover or use the clip to hold open the pages. It operates on AAA batteries. The higher quality battery, the longer it lasts. I use the Duracell ultra digital batteries with the blue band.
I cannot think of any negatives about this product. I'm not associated with any seller. I am just a customer who was happy to find a great product. Definitely a good buy.

Best book light for inveterate night owl readers

The XtraFlex2 LED book light is light years (no pun intended) better than the old itty-bitty-type lights that used incandescent bulbs.
The XtraFlex2 gets great battery life, unlike the the itty-bittys, which I found went through batteries like crazy. Of course, the LED "bulbs" don't burn out like the itty-bitty blubs (and the XtraFlex2 doesn't heat up from its bulbs, either). The XtraFlex2's integrated battery pack is also great; no getting tangled up in a cord while you're in bed.
I stumbled on the XtraFlex2 at my local Borders. They had a bunch of them in a display when the final Harry Potter book was published (presumably figuring that a lot of kids, little and big, were going to be doing a lot of reading in bed...). The leftovers were sold at half price, a real bargain. I bought one, tried it out, loved it, and went back to buy several more for use as gifts (and spares).
Available in colors other than purple; Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Light - Black, Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light, Silver, Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Book/Craft/Clip-On Light, Green, Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Book/Craft/Clip-On Light, Pink, and Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light, Blue.

Best reading light we have owned

My wife and I read nightly, and we have purchased quite a few different varieties of portable reading lights.
While shopping this holiday, we bought the Mighty Brite XtraFlex2 Purple for both of us.
Quite simply, it is the best reading light we have ever used, and we take it everywhere.
1. The flexible cable stays where you put it, doesn't sag or drift.
2. The two LED's completely cover both pages of the book due to its unique aiming angle of each LED.
3. The LED's are very easy on the batteries, we have yet to replace the originals.
4. It has two levels of brightness, although we only use the bright level.
Absolutely a top product!

| The XtraFlex 2 Super LED Book Light is a great addition to the Kindle2. It clips right on the cover & has 2 different brightnesses. The bulb doesn't create a glare onto the screen & is not heavy when it is attached either. |
Amazingly Bright

I've had the Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light for almost a year now, and I absolutely love it! I'm able to attach it to a book or to my Kindle (version 1).
The Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light is also available in the following colors: Blue, Silver, Black, Green, and Pink.
Pros
----
- VERY BRIGHT White Light
- Two Brightness Settings
(1) On the brighter setting, it uses both of its LED lights; (2) on the dimmer setting, it uses only one.
- Phenomenal Battery Life
The book light requires 3 AAA batteries to operate. My book light provides 15-20 hours of light before the light STARTS to be noticeably dimmer. The book light can provide about 35 - 40 hours of usable light before I have to replace the batteries (I use 1000 mAH AAA rechargeable batteries).
- Flexible Gooseneck
The gooseneck is extremely flexible; it can be twisted or bent. I can adjust the height and direction of the light with total ease. It comes in very handy for directing the light on the verso or recto as needed as you're reading.
- Compact and Lightweight
With a book in hand, I hardly feel the weight of the book light when it is clipped to the book.
- Rugged and Durable
The book light is well-made and has a rugged casing.
Cons
---
None. I honestly can't think of any!
The Xtra Flex 2 LED Book Light is both attractive and functional. Plus, it is very affordable and reasonably priced. You really can't go wrong with this one!
