 My secondFeb 18, 2007
By Evelyn Uyemura
The first such light, which had only 2 AA batteries, lasted over 10 years. When it died, I hoped I could find an exact replacement. This is made by the same company, but is designed a bit differently, and it's black instead of pink. This time it uses 4 AA batteries, which makes it a bit heavier but should also make the light last even longer.
The conecpt of this is brilliant. Instead of trying to attach the light to the book (how's that gonna work if I want to read The New Yorker or The New York Times in bed??), this one attaches the light to you, facing out at the book or magazine or newspaper or knitting--or if you're in a motel room, it will help you find your way to the bathroom.
It looks a little gorky, but it works like a charm.

Best reading light ever! Won't keep the spouse awakeJun 25, 2007
By Miniaturist.Com

This reading light has saved my marriage! I can read perfectly with it and not bother my spouse. In fact, the Beam N Read light is so good, that I now prefer to read with it instead of the "big" reading lamp next to my bed.

Perfect needlework lightFeb 13, 2007
By Kathy
I've tried just about every needlework light there is and have never found one that was just right until now. It hangs around the neck and sits flat on the chest without getting in the way at all. There is absolutely no shadow at all on my counted cross stitch fabric, which has always been a problem and no cord at all to get in the way. You can get an A/C pack, but I wouldn't want it. The way it is with the battery, you don't even know it's there. You just have really good light.

 I loved it before it broke my heartOct 23, 2009
By Reader B
"k9s & books"
I was thrilled when my Beam N Read light arrived. I LOVED it when I was knitting at night. But after a couple of hours the bulb started getting weaker and weaker. I tried to replace the bulb with the one which came with the light. I couldn't get the current bulb out and was afaid to I might break it if I kept trying. Now I will go to a Batteries Plus and see if they can help. I really want to get my light back and functioning!

A Light to LoveJul 29, 2010
By Beauzeaux
I bought this light back in 1998 before a trip to Africa. It's a great travel light especially if you share a room. I can read (comfortably) as long as I like without distrurbing others.
Unlike a lot of other "book" lights, it's sufficiently bright to read without squinting.
The second bulb just burnt out so rather than replace it, I'm upgrading to an LED version for improved battery life. I just hope it's as good.
