Review title: Not bright enough? This thing is like a car headlight!
Product review: I got this booklight yesterday and agree that it does make a hotspot in the center. This is due to the single LED. I found it to be blindingly bright, so much so that to disagree with that surely means I have a different version than what was reviewed here.I noticed that there was considerable light leakage out the top of the lamp as well as a harsh glare from the page. I did the following and now it is a perfect light.I took black tape and and covered the top of the light, leaving the switch free to move. I then took black tape and covered about 80% of the light leaving a small strip. I did this above the LED. This cut down the light output but what was output was harsh. I then took a few layers of clear tape and put them over the remaining lit area and this softened up the output quite nicely.Now it is a good light.
