I love mine - for more than just night reading

4-1/2 stars
Positives: Small, lightweight, slips over your ear. Perfect for reading in bed, on flights or in your car when traveling. Hands free, so if you need to get up during the night it lights your way without disturbing a sleeping spouse - no hassle of balancing and pointing a clip type. It only takes one AAA battery and reading each night for an hour or two last me a few weeks.

Negatives: Can move around or out of place if you don't adjust the tightness adequately - the ear piece is flexible to tighten or loosen. Also it can glare on the Kindle reader screen but that can be remedied easily enough by angling the Kindle just slightly.

I still like it better than clipping something on the Kindle. It can be used for various things not just reading as it is hands free - sewing, repairing jewelry, whatever. Thumbs up on this one.

I was really disappointed in the quality of the Angel Sales I Sight Light. Granted, it only cost $12.95, but it only lasted one day. We were not rough on it and used it exactly the way it was meant to be used and yet it stopped working after a few uses. Don't waste your money.

great concept but..

I bought 2 of these to try out, because one spot light usually creates too much shadows when you are reading, and with this product ,one is not bright enough for reading.

The biggest problem when trying to buy LED lights is that they don't specify the brightness of the light like other types of illumination products, there are no units of Watts, Lux or even mcd number for this unit, even on the package, all it says " Powerful Ultra-Bright white lifetime LED" no way to compare to other LEDs out there in the effective brightness. Although I quick search on the internet showed that these small 5mm LEDs come in brightness ranging from 800 to over 30,000 mcd (millicandles), You don't have to care about this if all you need is a task light to work under the sink, but if you want to do some precisiong work then this becomes essential info.

This unit is VERY bright if you use it to see in pitch dark places (one unit is bright enough) if you want to use this to read in the dark, you will probably be better off using 2 units together, one on each ear, this way you have more light, less shadow and your eyes don't get tired fast.

I actually bought these to work on some precise lab work; I thought they would be lighter than the Halogen Headlamp I am currently using,

2 problems; these LEDs are not bright at all if you have ambient light. And the biggest weakness of this product is the EAR Ring,
It is made of Hard Stiff THIN plastic which makes it very uncomfortable after a while. Which I hope they'll fix in the future.
Also it is hard to adjust where the beam falls.

All in all, Great Flash light replacement, Nice reading light.
