My Kindle reading light

I use a clamp-on model from Home Depot, with a bright, power-saving bulb. What’s it attached to? A tall plastic laundry bin containing p-books I want to get to someday: the kind-of equivalent of a 4G memory card (hyperbole alert).
The $13 Satin Chrome 1-Light Clamp Bulb can accommodate a 60-watter that’s equivalent to several hundred watts from an ordinary bulb. So the clerk told me. Check to be safe.
Luckily lights aren’t like proprietary DRMed e-book formats, and the same one works with my Sony reader and Cybook loaner as well as my K2.

I have spent some time and thought after purchasing a Kindle about which light is the best deal and I have been reviewing them and concluded that the best one can be found at http://www.kindlereadinglight.co.uk – it is practical and affordable with a robust gooseneck. The clip on is padded as to not scratch your Kindle and the light is capable of lasting 100,000 hours. 1 user noted that the batteries have lasted well over a month with everyday use. Comes in 3 colours, white, silver and black.
Would love to know your thoughts.
Thanks
