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 March 21, 2008

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.

This book light makes reading in low level lighting or with no light source at all both easy and fun. Light is bright and clear, does not distort print, produce dark spots or hurt my eyes, double light bulbs covering a wide area. Battery power makes it great for reading when electric power fails, the dim lighting produced by candles and oil lamps simply not bright or steady enough. Convenient clip works well; long, flexible neck is easy to adjust and holds its position. I am happy with this purchase.

This is probably the best book light I have used. In fact, I've had one for a long time and purchased this one for a gift.
Excellent reading light August 2, 2008

I love this reading light! I've tried several (most of which the dog chewed up) but this is the best one yet. I like the two light design; you can use one or both. It is a sturdy little light which I plan on using for a long time (if I can keep it away from the dogs).
