 Practical and aesthetic June 17, 2010
BookStruck (Arlington, MA USA)
My goal was a portable lamp I could use at an outdoor table during summer dining. The smaller the better, but it had to illuminate a page of text. I bought three for comparison:
1) Rite Lite LPL900 8 LED Portable Desk Task Light
2) SE Flashlight (20 LED Silver Lamp Light)
3) GE 17202 LED Book Light
The bottom line is I liked all three, but they are all different as follows.
1) My favorite was the Rite Lite. Its "antenna" side arms extend so you can get some height. The light bar is rotatable. It folds to a rectangle that is surprisingly light, but will occupy some space, both in storage and on your table (perhaps 11"x6"?). It fits in a large purse but not close to fitting in a pocket. I keep it in the car. It emits the best even light of the three, and quite enough to read/write comfortably across a whole sheet or more. If you have a laptop handy it can be powered off the USB, though I use battery power. (It takes 3 AA batteries, and can take 3 more if you want to change them less frequently.) On the downside, this is the most likely to break of the three. As long as you are patient and gentle when extending its "antenna" side-arms you will be okay. (Another possible concern is that its diffuse light, while an advantage to reading, will "leak" and be visible / distracting to other people. Not sure about that yet.)
2) The SE Flashlight (20 LED Silver Lamp Light) was the heaviest and bulkiest. Its spotlight is harsh, but within that spotlight it is the brightest of the three. I can't think of any reason to recommend it over the other two, except that it is sturdiest, and perhaps a spotlight is what you want.
3) The GE 17202 is very small and portable, *easily* fitting into a pocket. Or half a pocket. It unfolds into a surprisingly tall tower. However it has the weakest light. It is barely adequate, not strong enough for my needs. I'd recommend it only if very compact size is your main concern.

helpful portable light April 10, 2010
teachkinder (Ohio, USA)
This light is easy to use, does not take up much space, and gives a decent bright light to the area for reading/working. I needed a light that I could use where there is no outlet available for electricity. This has definitely been a great find--inexpensive and works well. It's a plus to be able to plug it in to a computer, too.
very very bright March 22, 2010

This thing is very very bright. And if it really sips power as claimed, it's incredible. This is certainly enough light for reading; it's just a matter of arranging it just so so you can read comfortably and not crush it when you forget it's there. It does look a little fragile.
 The light itself works fine! March 14, 2010

After having had this light for a little over two months I am mostly satisfied with it. Both the support arms are sturdy and can be positioned without problem, however I am concerned with the batteries draining when using it with the usb power. The first time it happened I wasn't sure if I'd switched it over to the usb power, but then I put in new batteries and ran it on usb power for about three days then tried to use it on battery power and the batteries were dead again. As I use it mostly on usb power I just leave the batteries out unless I need them, which for the little I use it battery power isn't worth the hassle of trying to exchange for the $7.00 I paid.
Bright, versatile task light that won't burn you March 8, 2010
John C. Pereira (Chicago, IL USA)
This task light is very bright and it is very easy to position the light where you want it. The best thing is that the LEDs don't get hot so you don't get burned on them like you do with those halogen lights. The plastic case is a bit flimsy, but it does help keep the whole thing light in case you want to carry it around. The fact that it folds up into a neat little package also makes it very portable. The other cool feature is that you can power it from your USB port on your laptop. I use it to illuminate my laptop keyboard.
