I hold the Verilux brand in high regard as I have purchased and been pleased with their full-spectrum bulbs, lamps, and the popular “Happy Light”, which I recommend. However, when I purchased this Verilux Book and Travel Light I found the quality to fall a bit short. It’s a cute little item, handy, and very bright on the “high” setting, but I found that the unnecessary “medium” setting functions best as a night light. It requires frequent AA battery changes-once every 1-2 days, but does come with a recharging cord for a computer[like an i-pod has].
It wasn’t quite as convenient as I’d hoped. Also with my daily use, the button that slides between medium and high has now broken, rendering it useless, so it has been more of a disposable light for me.

I love this book light! It has survived countless drops to the hardwood floor by me and my 2 year old. It works great with hardback and paperback books. This is by far the best book light I have ever used.

The device is rather large, clumsy to attach to the top of a book, has to be put on and taken off over and over as you read, and does not provide adequate and uniform illumination on the page to which it is attached, nor on the opposite page. Attached to a laptop PC screen, it barely illuminates the keyboard. It’s not worth a dollar and is a real disappointment.

First off let me say that I have tried a few lights for my Kindle. I have a MightyBrite and it works well, but it tends to light up the entire room. I like to read in bed at night and didn’t want to have to have a light on that would keep my wife up. The MightyBrite was almost as bright as doing that!
I read a review on a Kindle Forum about this light. I liked that it was compact, rechargeable, and was a Verilux light. I have not been disappointed! I am in the process now of ordering a second light for my wife! The light clips on the case for the Kindle and spreads an even light over the screen of the Kindle even on the low setting. It does not seem to have the problem of a hot spot as other lights do.

This light is the perfect size and shape and weight for the Kindle 2. We have two of these lights. It has just the right amount of light at the high setting, and a perfect, non-glare pattern on the page.
The batteries need replacing or recharging every few days. We use rechargable batteries, so we just plug in every few days to recharge.
We travel frequently, so the small size and provided carrying bag is very nice. We use a small footprint Phillips surge protector/plug in specially sized for traveling (available at Wal Mart for $22) with 3 standard AC plugs and 2 usb recharge plugs, because we find that sometimes where we travel good plugs are hard to find. This way we can plug in two lights and 2 kindles and 1 phone to recharge all at one time.
Contrary to some reports, we find that the Verilux book light is quite sturdy, as these types of lights go. The only improvement we can think of would be to put a little led light on the light (similar to the Kindle 2) , so that one knows when fully recharged.
We have used our light for about a month now, and are still quite pleased with this product.
