I am delighted with my new book light. It's extremely lightweight, only uses 1 AAA battery (which are easy to find), and fits my Kindle book cover as though they were made for each other.This may be the most perfect travel book light ever made. During my latest trip I was able to store it, a pair of reading glasses, spare battery, and a pair of earplugs in a double eyeglass case. It was on my night stand and ready to go, easily fit in my carry-on bag with my Kindle and quickly became a fantastic addition to my travel accessories.
 made me sick July 3, 2010

I switched to using this from a table lamp, but after using it for several hours one day I got a horrible headache- I rarely get headaches. I thought something else was going on as I usually read if I do have a headache so I kept reading, but it got worse. Finally, I stopped and went outside for a bit and it subsided. When I came back in and tried to read again, I noticed that there was a slight, periodic flicker and started getting a headache again. I kept reading but used a table lamp and was fine. The product itself worked fine and sufficiently illuminated the page, but I feel one star is appropriate if you can't use it more than 30 minutes without suffering.

First, to those having a blond moment, the Mighty Bright TravelFlex clips on the cover you put on your Kindle, Nook, Sony, whatever, not the ereader itself. Okay? Having got past that, it works great, very bright, lights up the whole screen uniformly. I was very pleasantly surprised. I tried the Sony PRS-600 along with Sony cover and light. The Sony Touch Screen, dismal to view, and the light not very bright. I switched to the Nook, yeah baby. The Lyra Light, very cute, was about 50% brighter than the Sony light, but still not all that great. I found myself trying to position the light closer to the screen so it would be bright enough, but then the screen farther from the light not bright enough, and then glare becomes an issue, and you're trying to find that spot where the head of the lamp isn't in your view, no glare and can see, frustration.
So, the bookstore, where I got the Nook, had the whole Mighty Bright line, cheaper than anywhere else, go figure. After reading many reviews, I bought both, the Mighty Bright Xtraflex2 and the Mighty Bright Travelflex. My understanding is that the Xtraflex2 is the brightest thing going, 2 LED's and 3 AAA batteries, but some say too bright and some say too heavy. So, I thought I would try the Travelflex first, 1 LED and 1 AAA battery. Hot Dog!!! The Travelflex is 3 times brighter than the Sony and about twice as bright as the Lyra, covers the whole screen without shoving the head of the lamp next to the screen. It is very light, very well made, and the switch works well.
The Xtraflex2 is still sitting in the box. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. It must be like getting stopped by a cop car on a dark road. It doesn't strike me as very heavy. It comes with the batteries in the box. Maybe, I'll keep it in the car in case I get stopped by the police. I'll have my own light. Yeah? Whaddaya want? Just kidding, Officer, Sir.

I've been disappointed with this light. It has to be in exactly the right position in order to cover the whole reading area of my Sony 900, but it won't stay in that position. It droops away from that position, especially when I use it in my preferred position which is sideways, attached to the side rather than from the top of the reader. It's not that it's unusable, but constantly adjusting it is a pain. I've ordered the cover with integral light from Sony and I sure hope it's better than this one.
The best booklight I've ever used February 15, 2010

I purchased both the Mighty Bright TravelFlex and the XtraFlex (1 not 2), so I'm posting this review for both products. I wasn't sure which would work better for me, or which would provide better light. After using both, I can't really tell any difference in the amount of light each puts out. Both work great, and are easily the best booklights I've ever used. I used to have an Itty Bitty non-LED light, with the old style battery brick, which was beyond cumbersome. Lately, I've purchased several LED lights from local stores, but none of them got the job done. The main problems were: light not bright enough, light not dispersed properly, and clip/neck not designed properly. All of these have been solved by Mighty Bright.
1. Brightness: For both lights, the single LED puts out bright white light. I was surprised that the single battery TravelFlex seemed to put out as much light as the 3 battery XtraFlex. Not sure what the difference actually is or why one needs 3 batteries, but to my eye they were the same. I was thinking about getting the XtraFlex 2, but didn't based on some reviews that stated people only used 1 of 2 LED's. I would imagine the XtraFlex 2 to be VERY bright with both LED's on, and would be overkill for regular reading. Both of the lights I purchased easily lit up both pages of a standard sized book.
2. Dispersion: Unlike cheaper lights, both Mighty Bright lights have a dispersion lens, creating an even light across both pages of a book. Cheap lights give you a hot spot with decreasing light away from the center, much like a regular flash light would provide. With the Mighty Brights, both pages were properly lit from top to bottom, and I don't have to adjust the light at all when moving from line to line and page to page. These lights are designed perfectly in this respect!
3. Clip/Flex necks: Here's where these two lights differ. Both clip securely to the book, although the TravelFlex wiggled a little more due to the smaller clip, but it wasn't falling over or anything. I was using a paperback, and I'm sure a hardback would make them even more secure. The XtraFlex has a slightly longer flex neck, allowing you to put the light head up and over the book a little further, perhaps giving a SLIGHTLY more even light. But, the TravelFlex neck is plenty long for lighting the pages. On both lamps, the flex necks are flexible yet sturdy, so you can put the light head wherever you want and it actually stays there! I've used several lights in which you either could not get the head in the right place because the neck was so stiff or the head would fall because the neck was so loose. Neither problem exists on the Mighty Brights.
For clips, the XtraFlex has a much bigger clip, which can actually be used as a stand to allow you to use the XtraFlex as a small desk light. This is actually very handy as a small light next to a laptop computer or if you have any writing to do at a desk but don't want to light up the whole room. The TravelFlex doesn't allow for this, but the smaller size is geared toward travel and the TravelFlex can be folded up into a smaller package than the MightyFlex (which is still pretty small, and either light will probably fit into any travel bag you use). The bigger clip on the XtraFlex also would allow to more easily clip to a headboard, the top of a laptop screen, etc.
In the end, both of these are GREAT lights. It is so nice to find proper design, as though someone actually tested these lights on a book in a dark room. Imagine that! Other lights I've turned on, and immediately known they wouldn't work. I've actually rubber-banded tissues over a travel light head to try and get dispersed light, which Mighty Bright has accomplished with a nice lens. The light is bright, white, and clean, and the LED's will last forever. I'm hoping the batteries last a long time, too. The TravelFlex came with one AAA installed; the XtraFlex came with 6 AAA's, 3 to use and 3 as back up. I'll have to see if the extra batteries make any difference in the long run.
If you read in the dark, buy a Mighty Bright, you won't regret it!
