The light is bright enough and a nice compact design. Thought I was really going to love it, and I probably would if the clip had not broken about the 3rd time I used it. I had it clipped to the Kindle cover (a leather cover which is very thin). The clip broke off just below the hinge so the clip is not useable. The clip is only plastic and the hinge puts a pot of pressure on it. Would have appreciated a metal clip or one with at least some wire embedded in it. I expected the clip to be much stronger as it IS intended to be clipped to a book cover. I have not returned it for a new one as it is just too much trouble doing the paperwork.
