Itty Bitty Volume Two Booklight

I got this book light for my wife who frequently reads into the night. So from my perspective, I can say the light is a nice calming yellow hue unlike the cold harsh LED lights. It is fairly concentrated and focuses primarily on the book leaving me in relative darkness. It has a swivel top so you can angle the light where you need it. I've been able to sleep with no problems.From her perspective, she likes the light weight such that it doesn't weigh down her book when clipped on the back. She finds that the light illuminates the whole page well without a focal concentration of light. She likes that you have to slide the bulb arm up to turn it on. Previous lights turned on when you unfolded it and she'd frequently accidentally knock the light over, opening it inadvertantly resulting in the light being on all night and wasting batteries.Which brings me to the AC and battery pack adapters. Overall she prefers the AC wall version. The cord that connects it to the wall is a little annoying to get used to but she enjoys not having to find batteries all the time. The previous LED ones we used had button batteries that were either impossible to find or pretty expensive. An older model that used AA batteries would gradually get dimmer and dimmer as the batteries drained which was annoying. The battery adapter for the Itty Bitty light is huge and heavy so this is not a portable reading light at all. This will remain in our home and when we travel, she'll just use the small portable LED light from before.

The product is actually awesome! However in the description, it’s stated there was a spare lightbulb included, NOT INCLUDED! I emailed the seller, and they said they knew it was wrong information, but Amazon has not changed it. It wasn’t bad enough for me to ask for a refund, but I still think it was wrong that they did not accommodate a spare bulb when it was supposed to be included in the first place. Overall I love the product.

The new Itty Bitty Booklight has some nice improved features. The on/off is activated by moving the arm out and in rather than a switch on the device. Much easier! The shade on the lamp is black and bigger so it focuses the light more on the book and keeps it out of my husband's eyes. It is lighter and a little smaller as advertised. The shade rotates too easily though so it's hard to keep it facing down. I don't know if that's just the one I got or if it is a design flaw. I've used the Itty Bitty for years and never found another book light I like.

The sleek picture of the light in the model's blue hand fails to show the power cord, which is required for the light. Nothing itty bitty at all about this light when you add the cumbersome cable and battery pack or a/c adaptor. I am returning this very misleading purchase.

the worst

For me this is the perfect booklight to use at home... when my husband is sleeping and I still want to read a few more pages. No need to replace batteries constantly. Brightest light I've ever seen in a booklight. You only need to replace lightbulbs once in a while (for about $2.00!!!).I've had mine for about 2 years now without any problems. I'm buying another one because the vacuum cleaner "ate" the cord!! :)

This does what it says, you probably won't find a better one. I would recommend this light, although I do wish the cord was a bit longer to reach farther away outlets. It's fine at our house, but if I'm reading in bed in a hotel the outlets are not always close enough and who wants to carry an extension cord while traveling? Overall, great light though, would buy it again.

Product not as advertised. No AC adapter included at least on the one I received
