 Finally I can see my Computer KeyboardSep 02, 2010
You cannot believe how many attempts I made at illuminating my keyboard. I tried incandescent lamps, nah, that never worked out. I tried several LED USB products that was adjustable and all those crapped out in a month, I found out that the wires inside just broke shorted out.
So I tried again, as this product looked cool. So I got it in the mail and hooked it up. So here I am, in my computer room, with all the lights off, except for my monitor and this USB 8 LED lighting system. Let me say, I found heaven, it does what I want it to do, it lights my keyboard. I don't have to waste electricity, it has an on and off switch which is great too, when I am watching movies.
Finally a product that works and lights up my keyboard, and I don't have to go out and buy an expensive lighted keyboard. I work on web design, do CAD work and research on the web and it sits there and works it brains off for me. So the incandescent light in back of me is off, and the florescent light above me is off.
Now the best thing, the very best thing, is when my brain is fried from working and I want to pay a game on steam. I don't have to turn on a light to watch my keyboard. I can see the whole screen and no degradation for gaming. Three cheers to the inventor.
Now, this just gets better. The LED are located in a circular housing and your can turn it 360 degrees to shed light on anything on your desk. Can it get any better? This is like a commercial, you know those English guys selling something that is really a piece of crapola. But this is not a commercial, this someone who made this recent purchase. The LED circular housing is held to the base with an antenna like device. So it can retract to like 7" and extend out to like 14", now isn't that amazing. The bottom line is that this thing works great and it is cheap (price cheap). It is a well made product.
I love it...............

Practical and aestheticJun 17, 2010
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.
See the Images for shots of all three lamps.
helpful portable lightApr 10, 2010
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 brightMar 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!Mar 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.
