Content: I was willing to pay the price based on the rave reviews, the travel-friendly collapsible design, the flat base (so you can also use it as a bedside lamp while rummaging in the dark) and the spine clip, but the gooseneck was not long enough for the light to cover all of both pages of even a normally small paperback, and the light was not bright enough to compensate - and I generally use these lights in very dark bedroom situations, not in low-light situations like evening train rides where it might do fine. After trying 5 different lights of varying manufacturers, designs and prices, I ended up going with the $12 version of the Mighty Bright LED light. I'd rather have the spine clip than the cover clip, but my 48 year old eyes need the extra brightness that none of the spine clip LED versions seemed to be able to achieve. It's hard to believe this is such rocket science. IF Zelco added an inch to this light and made it brighter, it'd be worth any price they named!
Summary: Not so much

Content: Very cool product. I've had other book lights that fall short of the mark that this light sets. Nice bright light, without too harsh of a light. Adjustable to pinpoint the light to where you want it, or it will give enough light for both pages.

Content: I have an obssession with reading late at night. If the book is good I won't be able to put it down until 3 or 4 AM. My wife was constantly complaining about me waking her up and bothering her sleep so I figured I could use a personal light.
I got this because it had a favorable review at Slate http://www.slate.com/id/2157756/pagenum/all/
and immediately agreed with the review. The light is LED which should last pretty much forever, I've been using it for the past month on the same set of 3 AAA batteries and it's still going strong.
It fits snugly over the spine of the book and so far managed to fit & light any size book I was reading at the moment (it feels slightly looser on paperbacks). It doesn't require any adjustments when you flip pages which is a plus since most book lights will requires so adjustments on page turns.
Construction is pretty strudy and it slips into a very slick carrying case that you can stick anywhere. and its very light so you almost don't feel the added weight when you hold the book. the battery cover is a little flimsy and may require jingling.
But the best part is that it light the book and the book only. the light sits on top of a tiny crane that you can adjust to make sure the entire pages is lighted adquedately and that nothing else is lighted.
Excellent product, other than the battery cover its perfect.
Summary: Great Red Eye Saver

Content: It's been great...it's compact, goes on the book easily and really lights up the page. I have to tweak where it is pointing as i switch from left page to right, but no big deal. i've had it for about 3 months and the batteries just went dead on me.
Summary: Great little booklight
